From INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION: “S.C. State students protested their university’s selection of Pamela Evette for the May 8 commencement, taking issue with—among other things—her opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and her fervent support for the president. Student body president Zaria C. Tucker also noted that Evette backs redistricting to eliminate the current congressional district held by Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn, an S.C. State alumnus. Evette, a Republican, responded to the protesters by publicly calling them “woke mobs” in a video she posted Tuesday.” Read more here, including threats to cut SCSU’s state funding.
