Looks like the Gazette doubled down. They released another article yesterday about the Kirk racism and resolving the diversity committee. Definitely not a good look from the U of I in my eyes. Someone higher up should respond one way or another.
Kirk can and should give his side. It's no skin off his back what is said on social media considering he doesn't have it. I find it hard to believe the U of I doesn't see the negative side of this in the media.
The committee was created to appease people after the 2020 racism came to light. As soon as kirk got an extension and raise he desolves the committee then back tracks and says he's restructuring it. Best case scenario it was just an ignorant move worse case is it was a slap in the face.
Well one of his well respected past players in Porter is saying unflattering things so if I was in Kirk's shoes I'd sure as hell wanna clear up the air if I could.
