screaming crying throwing up and begging for this country to put a hold on unprecedented once-in-a-generation historical events until after the bar exam
teary about all the UT faculty trying to protect their students by signing this letter, especially those without tenure, *especially* those who aren’t tenure-track. nearing 20% of the school’s 3,000 teaching faculty members! https://t.co/sAzOzTDPTs
This new @UTAustin policy seems preposterously (if not unconstitutionally) overbroad. Anyone who is *arrested* for trespassing, but never charged (let alone convicted), is permanently barred from campus? What if the arrest was bogus? What if the arrestee is a student or employee?
I covered @UTAustin as a journalist for 5 years (including 3 as a student) and I never have seen them use the campuswide intercom or mailing list like this.
Here is the current scene at UT.
Line of DPS troopers are physically pushing a group of protestes back (North on Speedway)
The crowd is chanting “Let him go! Let him go!”
