ECU professor plans to carry firearm on campus after school’s reaction to band protest
GREENVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) – East Carolina University Professor Tracy Tuten said that in response to the university’s reaction to band members kneeling during the national anthem, she now plans to open carry a firearm on campus.
Tuten reached out to WNCT Tuesday after sending an email to Chancellor Cecil Staton on her intentions.
In the letter, entitled “From the heart of Pirate Nation,” Tuten said that she was stalked last year and did not carry a firearm then because she said she “respected the university guidelines for bearing arms.”
On Facebook, Tuten said Sunday that the band members who knelt during the national anthem on Saturday “clearly broke the guidelines set forth in the ECU Marching Pirates Handbook and they should be dismissed from the organization.”
The university, however, has not reprimanded the band members and Tuten says in her letter that Chancellor Staton knew “about the band members’ plan but that you endorsed and supported it.”
