2. the original statement:
Sat May 8, 2021, 06:12 AM
May 2021
A university statement issued last week addressed a series of listening sessions the Board of Trustees held following a faculty and student uprising triggered by Salsbury’s statement after the Jan. 6 insurrection: “Over the last year, rioting, burning, looting and violence have emerged from protests across our country – resulting in seemingly endless confrontations, destruction of entire cities, properties, serious injuries, the public’s overall sense of security, and deaths,” Salsbury wrote. “Most of us have watched these events unfold with a mixture of confusion, fear, disgust, anger or sorrow. Many have openly questioned whether this is America any longer. The violence yesterday that interrupted the traditional, peaceful transfer of power punctuated these feelings.”

The majority of faculty voted in favor of firing Salsbury after he released that statement, but the Board of Trustees decided the president would keep his job.


Obviously a Fox News and RW media addict. Geebus.
