Death-threat Email Stirs UT Review
From today's Knoxville News Sentinel

University of Tennessee officials said Thursday that they are reviewing a series of e-mails between members of the student organization that selects campus speakers following complaints that some of the e-mails contained racial slurs and threats against a conservative columnist for the student newspaper. One of the e-mails referred to the columnist, Sukhmani Singh Khalsa, as a "raghead" and suggested, apparently in jest, he should be shot in the face.
Nice to know the university is taking it seriously. Background here or scroll down a few posts. More coverage here and here.
