After more than a year of bad press for clamping down on free speech, Collin College effectively fired history professor Michael Phillips. Now, academic groups are calling for his reinstatement.
demanding that faculty refrain from recommending masks
But the way Collin College sees it, the school never fired any current professor; rather, they merely declined to renew Phillips' contract, spokesperson Marisela Cadena-Smith said by email. The college can decide to end its relationship with faculty at the end of their contract, she continued, and board policies “promote the free expression of ideas of all individuals, including the academic freedom of faculty, which contribute to creativity, learning, and greater understanding.
“Collin College does not have tenure. That's by design," he said at the time."Where you have tenure is where you tend to have a self-promoting faculty. So, with the tenure system, the ultra-liberal, anti-capitalism, socialistic professors want to hire more just like them, so we don’t have that here."
