University of Louisville Settlement

The University of Louisville, a public organization in Kentucky, has terminated its LGBTQ+ college graduation event and got to a virtually $1.6 million settlement with a former professor that took legal action against, claiming that his anti-transgender comments had actually resulted in his demotion and shooting.

The school canceled its Lavender Graduation occasion, which was to take place last Monday and honor the accomplishments of LGBTQ+ trainees, “amid brand-new government and state plans calling on colleges to end equity, variety and inclusion techniques,” The Courier-Journal of Louisville reports.

Official Explanation for Cancellation

University spokesman John Karman informed The Courier-Journal that the termination came as a result of the new state and government policies. Nonetheless, he “stated he was not knowledgeable about any other college graduation ceremonies canceled because of the policies,” the paper records.
