Tennessee university to pay $1.9 million to professor fired over Charlie Kirk comments

A University of Tennessee professor who was fired after calling Charlie Kirk a "disgusting psychopath" in the wake of his assassination would receive $1.9M under a tentative settlement approved by the university system's Board of Trustees Audit and Compliance Committee in a nonpublic session held after the board's annual meeting Monday, eight months after she sued the school over the firing.
