The question of accent may a distraction from the underlying problem, which is teaching style. I agree with mathinokc that it's not hard to get used to a professor's accent in a couple of class sessions if that is the ONLY issue with the teaching. "Accent" has become shorthand for other issues. It's unfortunate that many American students now associate foreign accents with poor teaching, but I'm not sure that it's plain old bigotry or something more complicated at work.
