Today’s blacklisted American: Tenured professor fired, given no due process, because one student didn’t like what he was doing
![The Bill of Rights cancelled at Berea College](https://behindtheblack.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/BillofRights01reducedCancelledsmaller.jpg)
No first amendment allowed at Berea College!
Persecution is now cool! The administration at Berea College, a Christian university in Kentucky, fired tenured professor Dave Porter because one student complained about a research survey he was conducting.
Porter’s offense was to have done a survey of attitudes on campus. One student claimed that the survey was a retaliation against her for having filed a Title IX complaint. Writes Porter, “The campus was quickly polarized, and the administration saw a crisis looming. Apparently, the dean had received information from a former student that current students were fearful of attending my classes. There was no investigation and suggestions of mediation or compromise were squelched by the dean’s claim that I was ‘unrepentant and unapologetic.’” [emphasis mine]
