A university professor has been on suspension with pay for over a year. Clyde Barrow, a political science professor, claims his criticism of certain choices led to his suspension. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, which defends free speech, has published his case to draw public attention.
Barrow was placed on suspension via a letter from the College of Liberal Arts Dean. He was also banned from visiting campus and had his access to university information resources removed. The situation remains unresolved, with the university not providing specific details.
Further details about the case are available from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, which published Barrow's case to promote awareness and support for free speech.
