This petition seeks Linton’s dismissal to restore the integrity of our beloved institution.

Richard Linton's misuse of authority has had a profound impact on many students, including myself, and most of all one of our favorite basketball players Nae’qwan Tomlin. The dismissal of Tomlin is possibly one of the largest overreaches of power in our long history as a university. It's not just about one person's experience; it's about maintaining an environment where every student feels respected and valued.

We urge the university administration to take immediate action against this misuse of power. Dismissing Richard Linton would be a step towards restoring trust in our institution and ensuring that no other student experiences what Tomlin has gone through.

Please sign this petition if you believe in upholding the principles upon which Kansas State University was built – respect, integrity, and fairness. Your signature can make a difference in preserving these values for current and future student athletes alike.
