Let these 600 Austin Faculty GO FIND ANOTHER JOB, if they do not like how the President of UT handled the Protesters and how the Texas Rangers, Police, etc. handle the Clear Out of Protesters! When there is a coordinated effort across the U.S. to Occupy and Protest at Major Universities and Colleges, Protesters are asking for problems when the protests get larger and more rowdy???

You don't know what stopped the Vietnam War and you would have been one of the ones that died if you weren't such a punk that was born yesterday

[@brogen100]

Dude we don't need police, all we need are checkpoints just like our brother,

[@carefulconsumer8682]

There are 50 people waiting to take each one of their jobs if they don't like UT policies. They are welcome to resign.

[@jeep146]

I don't the President will leave because of this. The one problem that the students and the faculty does not understand. They don't have the support of the citizens.

[@kevintewey1157]

Defending students they can go home because they're on the wrong side

[@glennlee2115]

Please disclose the names of the "faculty".

The faculty is the reason why you have this problem in the first place. Stop hiring activists who teach students what to think and start hiring educators who teach them *how* to think.

[@dlperk5035]

Amen. Your words reveal great insight into the problem. It is why I left academia back in the 1990s. I had been an instructor in College English and humanities, a real hotbed of cultural Marxism and growing Marxist-Leninist ideology.

Many qualified people can take their jobs.

[@yolandawilkinson6420]

The faculty is the problem!!!!

Israel's illegitimate and so is your government

[@MrsIda]

Nice little Marxist drones.

[@kevintewey1157]

What is Marxism and what is happening in China what took China out of the feudalist age who was holding China down? Why? Little infant if I asked you you would lose the bet

[@kevintewey1157]

Did you ever talk to anyone about your anger issues? I'm serious can you answer the question? Your reactionary and you look like a fool

[@kevintewey1157]

Israel's illegitimate bet me all the money you want little boy

[@Alan-mi4yr]

Academics in the Liberal Arts Department. 😂

[@carefulconsumer8682]

True, I don't see my physics or biochemistry professors signing any of those letters. They are busy educating STEM students who are also not out there protesting.

[@alons4890]

Qatar is pumping those Professors big time

[@kevintewey1157]

Little cowards you're lying to yourself as real as illegitimate and you know it in your hearts

[@ianclydssaniel9414]

It's weird that they are more worried about the protesters and not teaching the students and doing their job in teaching and protecting the campus. Dudes my aunt was and alumni their. And it was sad to see protesters invading the campus like it's like their own room. Where they own it. It's an academic institution. I have volunteered for international aid for war in UNICEF and this my friends we do not agree. But still we pray for a safe transition. If they worried about the situation in the war. Volunteer here and stop protesting.

I support President Hartzell’s difficult decision. She kept students safe.

[@kevintewey1157]

Nobody was in danger except Gaza children and you don't care about them because their skin color isn't quite white enough for you by the way Israel is illegitimate doesn't matter how many times you tell yourself a lie it doesn't make it true
