The University of Tennessee has agreed to pay $1.9 million to professor Tamar Shirinian following a lawsuit related to her termination. Shirinian was fired after posting on social media about the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, whom she referred to as a "disgusting psychopath."
The settlement resolves the legal dispute between Shirinian and the university. The case highlights tensions surrounding free speech and social media conduct involving public figures.
