Episode 4: Vanderbilt Student Protests

  • Summary

  • In the fourth episode of the Nashville Scene Podcast, co-hosts Jerome Moore and D. Patrick Rodgers speak with staff reporters Kelsey Beyeler and Eli Motycka about ongoing protests at Vanderbilt University. As we’ve covered heavily in recent weeks, pro-Palestinian activism on campus this semester has been met with bureaucratic opposition. That came to a head in late March, when a sit-in at Kirkland Hall led to student arrests and suspensions, and even the arrest of our own reporter, Eli. (Eli ultimately faced no charges and was released within a matter of hours.) Chancellor Daniel Diermeir continues to face mounting pressure from students, faculty, local lawmakers and members of the community who say the school’s response has been “excessive and punitive.”

    We dive into all that and much more in this week’s episode. Follow Jerome Moore on Instagram (@jeromelmoore), and follow D. Patrick Rodgers on whatever platform you prefer (@dpatrickrodgers).
