"What shocked me was how easily the professor acquiesced to Keisha"

Yep, as I said, this cowardliness is 90% of the problem. It's impossible to appease narcissists while playing their game. Set the ground rules early and give them the choice to leave if they don't like them.

Too many of these teachers don't understand the difference between being reasonable and letting students treat them like a doormat. And, of course, after the students have gone used to wielding power in this way, they come to expect it.
