RANDOLPH, N.J. -- Officials at a community college in northern New Jersey are not saying whether they disciplined an adjunct professor who asked a stuttering student not to speak.
But officials at the County College of Morris acknowledge Elizabeth Snyder acted improperly and they expressed disappointment with an email the history professor sent to 16-year-old Philip Garber Jr.
The email urged Garber to save his questions for after class "so we do not infringe on other students' time."
Administrator Bette Simmons says Snyder should have advised classmates to be patient with Garber.
Garber has transferred to another section of the same class and says he's happy with how the matter was resolved.
The teacher's actions were first reported by the New York Times. Messages left for Snyder on Wednesday morning were not returned.
