A message from Cumberland University President, Dr. Paul C. Stumb:
At Cumberland University, we are committed to fostering an environment where learning, growth, and personal development can flourish free from disruption or concern.
After a thorough and thoughtful review process, I would like to confirm that a member of our faculty, Dr. Michael Rex, and a member of our staff, Mr. Max Wood, both of whom made inappropriate comments on the internet related to the tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk, are no longer employed by the University. This decision was not made lightly. We understand the importance and impact of this action, and we want to emphasize that we conducted a comprehensive investigation prior to making our decision.
We remain steadfast to our mission to promote higher education, nurture academic excellence, and support a safe and inclusive learning environment for all.
Sincerely,
Dr. Paul C. Stumb
Cumberland University President
