“OSU does a good job of having you comment on TAs at the end of the quarter, and one that I had was no longer a TA as ‘clarity of voice’ is one of the categories)”

It’s just not possible that a TA was fired or released because of accent problems. TAs are hired for multi-year contracts and acceptable student evaluations isn’t something one needs to keep a TAship; if anything, that TA simply graduated and went somewhere else. No end-of-quarter survey done among undergrads would ever, ever, ever have an impact on someone’s employment. Moreover, OSU could face serious discrimination charges if it broke a contract with an international student over something incidental to said student’s background. Luckily, OSU isn’t going to risk a PR nightmare simply because some Ohio kid has been raised on a farm and has never heard an Asian accent before.
