University of Tennessee Sees Another Controversy Coming
Nearly a year after a damaging controversy, the University of Tennessee campus is quickly becoming embroiled in another one.
Nick of Duck Season sent an e-mail that points to an Instapundit (who's a professor there) post on it, writing, "an organization for bringing speakers to campus on a non-partisan basis is being accused of being excessively partian in their choice of speakers, as well as having internal emails or memo's that contain death threats and racial remarks about the UT College Republicans."
From the Knoxville News Sentinel: "University of Tennessee officials said Thursday that they are reviewing a series of e-mails between members of the student organization that selects campus speakers following complaints that some of the e-mails contained racial slurs and threats against a conservative columnist for the student newspaper..."
It started, as most of these things tend to, in a column in the student paper.
There's an article, and then a follow-up column.
UT blogger Adam Groves floods the zone.
