Bethany Orban signed Defend Diversity at UT-Knoxville: Veto SB1912 via Holly Gary 2016-04-26 12:12:56 -0500As a student in the University of Tennessee system, this is absolutely ridiculous. Just because someone does not agree with a email or Facebook post does not mean that you should be allowed to completely cut the funding.
Defend Diversity at UT-Knoxville: Veto SB1912
The Legislature passed SB1912/HB2248 that removes funding from the Office for Diversity and Inclusion at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Sign this petition that we will deliver to Governor Haslam asking him to veto the bill.
Governor Haslam, we call on you to veto SB1912/HB2248 and protect the University of Tennessee-Knoxville's Office for Diversity and Inclusion. The office plays a vital role in making the university competitive for the best students, faculty, and staff and it makes campus life welcoming for all. Thank you for considering our views.
