 University demands professor sign away his free-speech rights if he wants his job back
Christopher Tremoglie - University of Pennsylvania •August 31, 2018


‘It is punitive, vindictive, disenfranchising, and dehumanizing’

Ken Peterson thought he was in the clear after winning an appeal of his dismissal by Dixie State University.

Then the tenured music professor was ordered to sign a “Last Chance Agreement” if he wanted to return to campus.

The text of that agreement – which requires Peterson to affirm his “unprofessional/uncivil behavior” toward colleagues and “inappropriate behavior” with students, as well as censor himself on an ongoing basis – is drawing condemnation from academic and free-speech groups.

It's going to be tough to find a decent place for my grandkids to go to college.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd study abroad.

They say you're only as young as the broads you study.

Being married as long as we have, that is about all the matriculation I need. Or can take.
