On Wednesday, November 18th, our chapter held a roundtable discussion on legislative pressure on faculty expression. Despite inclement weather the meeting was well attended and productive. Much of it centered on name and pronoun accommodation in our classes and the chilling effect of comments by Tennessee legislators on our campus discussion of this issue. This included the censorship (removal from UT website without the author’s permission) of thoughtful suggestions for faculty on inclusive practice.On Wednesday, November 18th, our chapter held a roundtable discussion on legislative pressure on faculty expression.
