Judd Legum @JuddLegum
8. Buckley is now 24-years-old and makes almost as much as the Congressman he works for. If you suggest that this isn't all on the level and Carlson is pulling strings for his son, Carlson will call you up and threaten you https://t.co/qJT8dCSxwW — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
7. Now, Tucker Carlson would never use his political connections to assist with Buckley's career. Right? Except that Carlson wrote HUNTER BIDEN in 2014 and asked for his help getting Buckley into Georgetown https://t.co/PUZ45QcF3b — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. Buckley now makes only slightly less than Banks' Chief of Staff, David Keller, who has been working with Banks for years, including as his campaign manager in 2106 — PolitiTweet.org

13. A columnist for the Kansas Reflector, McCoy has written a range of pieces critiquing the encroachment of right-wing and free-market politics into healthcare and education. He also called into question Hush’s qualifications and Hush's ties to the Koch network. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
12. Max McCoy, a tenured Professor of English who was let go after teaching at the university for 16 years said the firings “the feel of a purge” and called it a “Koch-driven initiative… to establish a beachhead to eliminate tenure.” https://t.co/mecxuZF6Go — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
11. The difference between KSU and @emporiastate is that KSU is run by an experienced educational administrator with an advanced degree. @emporiastate is run by a former executive of Koch Carbon with no advanced degrees or experience https://t.co/mecxuZnvOQ — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
10. The Kansas Board of Regents said @emporiastate needed to fire tenured faculty in response to declining enrollment. But enrollment KSU and Pittsburg State University, have experienced greater enrollment declines over the last 5 years. They aren't firing tenured professors. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
9. Tenure is not just under attack in Kansas. @RonDeSantisFL recently signed legislation weakening tenure at Florida universities. @DanPatrick has called for the elimination of tenure for all new hires in Texas. Scott Walker, a Koch ally, did it years ago in Wisconsin. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
8. In the US, tenure has long served as a safeguard for academic freedom. Tenure prevents professors from being fired for discussing controversial ideas. And it's the tenure system that insulates faculty from undue influence by university donors, administrators, and politicians. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@emporiastate 7. Charles Koch criticized the institution of tenure since the 1970s. In a piece Koch wrote in 1971, he holds out the General Motors Institute as the ideal for higher education. One key feature of GMI, Koch said, was that there was no tenure https://t.co/mecxuZF6Go https://t.co/btoG8OPbn0 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. The Koch influence @emporiastate runs deep. In 2020 the Charles Koch Foundation donated 313K to the university. Koch entities have donated at least $1 million to the school in recent years. The school houses the Koch Center for Leadership and Ethics https://t.co/mecxuZF6Go — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. Many of the fired tenured faculty were critics of Koch influence and/or held liberal political views in 2018, Dan Colson wrote a piece called "Teaching Radically with Koch Money" He was tenured and worked at @emporiastate for 11 yrs He was fired https://t.co/mecxuZo3Eo — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. Less than three months into Hush’s presidency, @emporiastate announced a plan to terminate tenured faculty. Over two days, @emporiastate fired about two dozen tenured faculty members, roughly 20% of the tenured faculty at the school https://t.co/mecxuZo3Eo — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. Then in May 2022, the Kansas Board of Regents named Ken Hush, a former Koch executive with no advanced degrees or experience in education, president of @emporiastate All of a sudden, @emporiastate was interested https://t.co/mecxuZo3Eo — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@KochIndustries 2. In January 2021, the board that oversees Kansas' public universities created a policy that allowed schools to submit plans to fire tenured professors to save money. NONE OF THE SCHOOLS WANTED TO DO IT https://t.co/mecxuZF6Go — PolitiTweet.org
