LETTER FROM SAM HOUSTON PRESIDENT HOYT
Yesterday, an individual chose to make an insensitive and inflammatory remark that insulted the memory of Officer Goforth and his fellow men and women who serve in law enforcement. It was absolutely unacceptable behavior.
Those who would do harm, whether by word or deed, should and will pay the consequences through lawful means. In the case of Ms. Foy, she shared her remarks publically and the public has undeniably rebuked this deplorable action. She will have to live with the repercussions of her choice. It is my sincere hope that Ms. Foy will come to understand the hurt she has caused, learn from it and make the necessary changes to become a person who embraces the values we hold dear at Sam Houston State University.
Let me be very clear, her student affiliation should in no way be the basis for judging a university that has put serving others and bettering the community first and foremost for well over a century. As evidenced by the overwhelming response from our Bearkat family, the callous remarks made by Ms. Foy on her personal Twitter account are not a reflection of the values held by Sam Houston State University, our graduates, the employees, or the 20,000 students attending this institution. We are neither accountable nor responsible for the personal actions of this individual.
