Story by Chelsea Kirrily • 9h agoThe city of Cincinnati is currently caught in an educational storm as the University of Cincinnati becomes a battlefield for free speech and academic freedom.

This 20-year-old student has recently become the face of a contentious debate on the University’s handling of freedom of speech. According to Krolczyk, a professor gave her a zero on a crucial project for her Women’s Gender Studies in Pop Culture class. The reason? She had used the term “biological women.” Despite the project demonstrating her deep research into the evolution of female athletes’ rights, opportunities, and challenges, the professor deemed the term exclusionary and unacceptable, resulting in her project’s failure.
The stakes were high for Krolczyk. This project constituted 50% of her total grade, potentially making or breaking her academic success. However, it wasn’t just the prospect of failing that drove her to publicly challenge the professor’s decision. Rather, it was a broader concern about academic freedom and ideological bias that led her to share her story on TikTok.

The University of Cincinnati is currently reviewing Krolczyk’s case, promising to address her concerns through established policies and procedures. But for Krolczyk, this fight goes beyond a single project or a single class. She is rallying her fellow students to stand up against what she perceives as an attack on free speech, stating, “If we as a student body take action instead of conforming to the professor’s ideology, we can hopefully start changing our universities back to a place where stating simple biology isn’t punished and conflicting opinions are encouraged.”
This case raises essential questions about how universities shape dialogue on controversial topics, the role of professors in fostering a diverse spectrum of opinions, and the alleged indoctrination of ‘wokeness.’ It has opened a Pandora’s box of debates, making it clear that the impact of this controversy extends far beyond a single classroom in the University of Cincinnati.
