Computer science professor Jonathan Shewchuk has apologized following backlash to a comment he made to a student on a discussion message board about dating in the Bay Area.
A University of California Berkeley professor has apologized after he received a backlash for telling a student this week that dating is easier outside the Bay Area. 'If you want a girlfriend, get out of the Bay Area,' computer science professor Jonathan Shewchuk told a student who asked him on an EdStem online discussion platform about work and dating in the area, according to Berkeley’s student newspaper, the Daily Cal.
Shewchuk later apologized on the same message board, saying he didn’t mean to 'convey any disrespect for women.' 'I apologize for my reply … which has caused bad feelings I did not intend,' Shewchuk wrote in a post, screenshot on Reddit. 'I did not mean to convey any disrespect for women, or anybody else, nor to blame the blameless. I value all of my students. I am sorry for my words and for how it made many of you feel.
