A Ball State professor issued an apology to his students after having police called on one of them during his class. The incident was not how that student said he wanted to start his final semester.
“I haven’t had the police called on me for throwing parties. I had the police called on me for sitting in class, learning,” said Sultan “Mufasa” Benson. “That’s something I can tell my grandkids one day.”
Benson’s comments came while he reflected on the incident that took place Tuesday morning during Professor Shaheen Borna’s marketing 310 class. Borna called University Police Department (UPD) officers on Benson for not moving seats. The incident was caught on video, posted on social media and currently has more than 140,000 views.
