They're coming for Furman students. Our international students are some of the most hardworking and dedicated students we have. Why do this? www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/p...

Two Furman University students, not identified, have visas revoked by Trump administration

The reasons for the revocations were not clear; the terminations have affected 1,400 students and scholars nationwide, according to an educator group

So insightful! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/o...

Jesus’ procession was a parody of imperial power — a deliberate mockery of Roman spectacle and a prophetic enactment of a kingdom not built on violence but on justice.

Very proud of my spouse for his role helping an institution own up to and learn from its past. @kenkolb.bsky.social

Furman University's scion once blocked Black homeownership. The school is acknowledging it.

Furman University faculty have released a project on how esteemed school leader Alester Furman's use of racist deeds kept many Black people from homeownership.

Quick spring break trip to Puerto Rico was lovely - the people, family time, reading time, scenery, and a wonderful new discovery: Yaucromatic public art in the beautiful city of Yauco. Unique, colorful, gorgeous. At least three locals voluntarily showed us where to go. I’m in love.
