👇 Chancellor, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
We all share the responsibility as the educators of America’s future leaders to make sure students have a healthy educational environment in which to learn, wrestle with difficult issues, and express themselves civilly. We all take that responsibility seriously.
I appreciate our dedicated faculty and staff who work hard every day to create an atmosphere for our students that is healthy, challenging and supportive.
… All of us must recognize that when we speak, and certainly when we speak on social media, our words have broader impact. Teaching and shaping the lives of young people is core to the mission of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.I have initiated termination proceedings against a faculty member for endorsing violence and murder on social media.
