College student gets A in class after allegedly receiving zero on proposal for using term ‘biological women’

Olivia Krolczyk spoke to OutKick’s Dan Dakich about the controversy at the University of Cincinnati.

A University of Cincinnati student who allegedly received a zero on a college project proposal for using the term "biological women" has had her proposal re-graded by another professor and received an A in the class. 

Olivia Krolczyk posted a TikTok video last month detailing the feedback she received from her gender studies teacher, explaining that she received a zero on her project proposal about transgender athletes competing in women’s sports because she used the term "biological women."

"So far, a new professor has graded my work and nothing has happened with the original professor, that I know of," Krolczyk told Dakich. 

"It was re-graded, so I ended up finishing the class with an A," she added.

In a May video posted to TikTok, Krolczyk shared the feedback she received from the professor on her proposal, who asked her to "reassess" her topic.

"Olivia, this is a solid proposal," the feedback read, per FoxNews. "However, the terms ‘biological women’ are exclusionary and are not allowed in this course as they further reinforce heteronormativity. Please reassess your topic and edit it to focus on women’s rights (not just "females") and I’ll regrade."
