NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Vanderbilt University confirmed it has launched a formal inquiry after a classroom slide used by a faculty member began circulating online and sparked backlash.
The controversy began after advocacy group StopAntisemitism shared an image of a slide they allege came from a Vanderbilt math course. The problem referenced Palestine and asked how fast the land is decreasing “due to the occupation by Israel.” The group criticized the material and called on the university to take action.
In a statement, Vanderbilt said the content has been removed and that the matter is being reviewed in accordance with university policy. The university did not provide additional details about the investigation.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
