An NYU professor is alleging that the university fired him in retaliation for giving James Franco a “D.” That would be awful, but it’s probably just part of some installation performance piece that’s going to take the next 30 years to complete. Classic art stuff.

The issue wasn’t the grade, so much as the conflict of interest; the professor was James Franco, and the class he was teaching was about James Franco.
Which class? Was it “3D WOOD FRANCO SCULPTURE” or “James Franco Narrative Play?”
“Videogum has bent over backwards to create a Franco-friendly environment, that’s for sure,” Delahaye, 58, told The Post.
I hope the D was for “Delightful.”
Oh, wait. I’m being told it was for “Douchebag.” Yeah, that makes more sense.
Maybe the grades are given out in rhyming slang. That seems like some weird thing Franco would do as “art.”
If you get a D, it’s really a B.
If you get a C it’s really a D.
If you get a B it’s really a C.
Jeff’s are F’s, and Gay’s are A’s.
“What’sa matter, Franco? You don’t get these smart people grades?”
I just blew James’ mind, I’m sure.
So no one be alarmed/offended when you get a graded paper back and at the top, in red, it says “GAY+”. It’s just rhyming slang, you guys.
Gives new meaning to PhD.
If the piece in the Paris Review was in any way indicative of Franco’s writing ability, many MANY professors will be losing their jobs soon.
Considering that the Columbia Writing program consists of five rooms in one building, it seems that a real life student there would maybe know the name of that building? Or that “VALs” are on Thursday’s? Or that the building is at 116th Street, not 125th? DOESN’T THAT SEEM LIKE SOMETHING A REAL LIFE STUDENT THERE WOULD KNOW?
