A Ball State University professor called police on a student who declined the teacher's request that he move desks during the middle of class. Here's what happened.
Even though the student, Sultan Benson was not being disruptive, Professor Shaheen Borna stopped in the middle of a lecture to ask Benson to move his seat. He gave him the option to either move or have the police called. Ball State president Geoffrey Mearns called the professor's call to police "a gross error of judgment."
