University of Memphis won't proceed with $3k offer for infusing equity into courses, governor says
Fox News
The University of Memphis is not proceeding with a program offering $3,000 in stipends as part of a program encouraging faculty to overhaul their courses.
"We welcome robust debate on college campuses, but taxpayer dollars should never be used to fuel a divisive, radical agenda," he added.
Lee's comments came shortly after the proposal initially surfaced in the Beacon. The outlet had obtained an all-faculty email showing the university offering a $1,500 stipend after professors redesigned their curricula, with another $1,500 after teaching the redesigned course. According to the email, 15-20 faculty members were supposed to be selected for the program, which would have begun in spring 2022.
