Kent State president makes it clear: Professor being investigated by FBI for possible ties to ISIS does not speak for university
Kent State University President Beverly Warren is distancing the college from a professor who’s being investigated by the FBI for possible ties to the Islamic State, also known as ISIS.
In an email to university faculty and students on Wednesday, Warren blasted associate professor Julio Pino for his history of anti-Israel comments.
“We continue to find Julio Pino’s comments reprehensible and counter to our core values of civil discourse and respect,” Warren wrote. “As a university, we do not defend his views, and he does not speak on behalf of Kent State or members of our community.”
She assured students that the FBI believes there is “no indication of a threat to campus.”
