Two Collin College professors say they are being pushed out of their jobs in part because they challenged the administration’s COVID-19 response.
Professors Suzanne Jones and Audra Heaslip say they were called before college leadership last week and told their contracts would not be renewed at the end of this semester. Both had previously questioned the way school officials handled the coronavirus pandemic.
“I was told that I had put outside pressure on the college reopening during COVID,” Heaslip said of her meeting with school leaders.
It’s the latest example of the Collin College administration infringing on employees’ rights and lashing out against those who are critical, some faculty and advocates allege.

“Everyone is in favour of free speech,” Winston Churchill once wryly observed. “Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people’s idea of it is that they a free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.”
