#MahmoudKhalil has previously disputed the notion that he omitted information on his application.

Although he died peacefully at home, it still makes me sad to share the death Dr. John Paul ‘JP’ Montgomery. He was Emeritus Professor of English and the founding Dean of the Honors College at Middle #Tennessee State #University.

There are a lot of fond memories and accomplishments at #MTSU that I associate with JP, but his successful ‘big tent’ Poetry Slams stand out for me.

R.I.P. my friend!

…The latest filing, an amended complaint, followed a string of court actions by the #university against the #Trump admin, part of a battle that began in April, when Harvard refused to comply with a list of federal demands.

The government asked, among other things, for Harvard to bar students *hostile* to *American values* & to allow an audit of #faculty & #students to measure “viewpoint diversity” at the school.
