Professor reaches $1.9M settlement after being fired for criticizing Charlie Kirk

The Washington Post reports:

The former University of Tennessee at Knoxville anthropology professor, who sued the school on First Amendment grounds, is the latest person to prevail in such litigation.

Brief excerpt: “The settlement, which was approved Monday night in a meeting of the University of Tennessee Board of Trustees Audit and Compliance Committee, does not restore her faculty position. Some other people have prevailed in similar First Amendment cases.”

I wouldnt want to work for a $h*t hole University like that either..😷
@whowasthatmaskedman I am certain that she’ll have no difficulty finding another appointment should she decide to pursue one.

@KunsanVeteran I know international places that would welcome her . It could be the best thing that ever happened to her career..😷
@KunsanVeteran There are places in my state where she’d receive a hero’s welcome. And be earning much more money.
I’d much rather have the money over that position.
@bijouxbroussard Actually, I hope that she gains tenure at another, more prestigious university—we need more academics like her! She looks young—she could invest that money in a Roth IRA and be set for life.
