UT Urges Business Professors to Give Content Warning to Potentially Offended Students
by Jake Peterson

In a typo-filled section of the template, the McCombs School of Business suggests every professor include an apology to Native Americans in their syllabus, acknowledging that they are “meeting on the Indigenous lands of Turtle Island, the ancestral name for what is now North America.”
