University of Tennessee Issues Committee Update
Several other University of Tennessee students are blogging about the controversy, in which a student group, accused of a liberal bias by a campus newspaper columnist, apparently sent internal e-mails back and forth calling the columnist racial names and making threats against his life.
Along with Adam Groves, there's also Aaron Chapman and Bethany Stover.
Stover notes this: "[I]nidividual or group of individuals plastered the Humanities building on campus with bright flyers stating, 'Demand Responsible Journalism: Boycott the Daily Beacon'. Other flyers along the same lines claimed that the Daily Beacon was a 'conservative rag' and incinuated that Fox News ran the Daily Beacon..."
The College Republicans are involved as well, though some say that they didn't help the situation, when they wrote on their website: "Part of the reason why anti-American communist pinkos have such a strong voice on campus is simply because they are persistent. While we are busy being productive citizens, doing things like working and showering, they are diligently and consistently whining..."
A fellow campus columnist, John Brown, writes on the controversy in today's Daily Beacon, stating that he is not advocating for campus speech codes, but a "member should be held accountable for his words, as should the Issues Committee's [the student group] faculty advisor."
