NYU still is top 20 and organic chemistry is still just a basic second year class that all chemical, chemical engineering, biology, etc. majors must take. It's like a high school English teacher who goes to teach and gets fired because he expects students to write "Everyone, wait for me please, I am going to the store to buy food" instead of "ayyo hol up homies imma get hooked up wit some chow"Yes. Tho I guess the problem for him (I not defending his firing) is that he went from one of the very top universities (some say it rank 1) to like a tier 2 university. Unsurprisingly, the level, competency, and dedication of the students between these facilities are going to be significantly different. It’s a shame NYU let him go but I guess it was inevitable if they want to pad their cash pile.
