Free Speech Group Says Haskell Indian Nations University Is Muzzling Students And Faculty

[TexasTowelie]

Faculty at Haskell Indian Nations University have formally expressed their displeasure with the school’s president, who is also facing criticism from a national campus free speech organization that says his administration violated the First Amendment rights of students and staff.

On April 1, the Haskell Faculty Senate delivered a unanimous vote of no confidence against university president Ronald Graham, The Indian Leader reported.

The resolution says Graham’s one-year tenure has been marked by a disregard for academic freedom and free speech, and that he undercut Faculty Senate influence on academic matters.

Graham issued a “non-negotiable” memo early this month directing staff and faculty to voice their criticisms of the school, their peers and his administration internally through the university’s chain of command. He said that any detractors who criticize the school publicly will face consequences.

5. I have been following that campus drive for a while, remember a few

short years ago it was being promoted by a character named Milo Yiannopoulos who turned out to be funded by Mercer and his organizations, and all part of the koctupos networks, including the DeVos tribe who really want liberal ideas removed from the education system.
