We the undersigned demand Dr. Tom Alter be immediately reinstated in his position at Texas State University.

The beloved History professor was summarily fired by TSU President Kelly Damphouse for expressing his ideas in a virtual conference unrelated to the university. Alter is a tenured faculty member. The grounds for his dismissal were based solely on false accusations published online by self-declared fascist and “anti-communist cult leader” Karlyn Borysenko. We call on TSU authorities and President Damphouse in particular to retreat from this flagrant attack on the basic right to free speech, and clear wrongful termination, and reinstate Dr. Tom Alter immediately.

WRITE TO TEXAS STATE TO TELL THEM TO GIVE TOM HIS JOB BACK:
