"The University of Tennessee System Board of Trustees approved a settlement with former assistant professor Tamar Shirinian, agreeing to pay the fired faculty member $1.9 million...
The situation began Sept. 12, 2025, two days after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Shirinian made a crass Facebook comment on a friend's private post, saying in part that the 'world is better off without him in it.'
A social media provocateur spread Shirinian's comment online, sparking public outrage and urging the university to fire her."
