  the recent case involving a firstgeneration latina student  tiffany martínez at suffolk university is but one example an accomplished undergraduate published journal author and mcnair scholar martínez wrote a personal blog post titled academia love me back in her heartfelt plea martínez first recounts an experience she described as both disrespectful and invalidating and then explains that a sociology professor accused her of plagiarism not privately but in front of the entire class the professors claim was further illustrated by emphatic written statements on her paper such as this is not your word and please go back and indicate where you cut and paste 
  one such comment was written in the margin near the word hence which the professor had circled an important detail given martínez merely used it as an appropriate transition to connect two related sentences was it that surprising to martínezs professor that she knew how to appropriately use a transitional word 
  although some may dismiss this as a minor incident martínez reminds us of the internalized racism and selfdoubt resulting from years of educational violence like the many students of color from whom we hear similar stories in our campus climate assessments  what transpired for martínez was yet another debilitating and painful experience of marginalization

  it is imperative that our colleagues stop being surprised when students of color are able to thoughtfully articulate themselves in their writing and in class discussions snip
