A Ferris State University professor assigned a paper to students asking them to explain "Why Osama bin Laden should be considered for a Nobel Peace Prize.
"Term Paper: Why Osama bin Laden should be considered for a Nobel Peace," a copy of the spring 2014 semester syllabus states. "This is a 300 level history term paper which must conform to certain standards. The paper must have a clear argument and use both primary and secondary sources, Chicago Style footnotes and a bibliography with primary sources listed separately from secondary sources. Further instructions and sample student papers from past years will be available on our class page."
Mehler assigned the term paper asking students to explain Why Osama bin Laden should be considered for a Nobel Peace" multiple times since 2014, the documents show.
