Attorney General Ken Paxton Has Concerns About How the Incident was Handled by the University

Paxton’s letter said the student reported the incident to the Dean of Students, who told her to make a report to the Psychology Department. The student said she was not given the option of filing a report, which should be standard procedure. According to Paxton, the University may have violated multiple policies. According to Paxton, "For too long, universities have become incubators for radical left-wing ideology instead of fostering a space for learning and open, peaceful discussion of ideas. Instead of addressing the disgusting celebrations of political assassinations, UNT has protected these terrorist sympathizers and punished the brave student who stood up to the radical mob."
