Transparency State University

It is CONFIRMED- Transparency State has it on ironclad reliable information that the tenured professor in SOPA (see our June 16 post) has been indefinitely suspended due to "mass emails and insubordination."  The professor is currently appealing their suspension and will go through a faculty hearing process, most likely in the Fall semester.   We are not aware when this situation will be resolved and whether or not the professor will ever be able to come back to campus.  It seems that King Lane's minions have been extremely busy in finding more and more creative ways to rid the campus of individuals they disagree with.  Transparency State is very interested in the outcome of this case as it appears to hinge on the definition and usage of the First Amendment's right to free speech and what exactly does it mean to accuse the professor of sending out "too many emails"?  It is also something to be concerned about regarding the impact and effectiveness of f

So the administration decided to break both his kneecaps, not just one. To send a message to him...or...for something else?  To send a not-so-subtle message to...? We wonder- what exactly is the long term plan to unite the campus under King Lane.  Or is this the best plan he has come up with?  Crush dissent and intimidat
