This petition is addressed to Oglethorpe University. Dr. Kendra King-Momon, a violently homophobic, callous, and unprofessional woman, has been named the university’s provost. In many interactions with students Dr. Momon has disrespected and Dehumanized them to the point of emotional breakdowns, and then made light of it with humorous remarks. A staunch Christian, she openly berates queer students; calling some “live wires” and studiers of “witch craft.” Oglethorpe University claims to be all inclusive and a safe space for non-heterosexual academics. Dr. Kendra King Momon treats black women and black gay people like the scum beneath her shoe and frequently goes out of her way to flaunt her money and pastoral status. Instead of teaching, she frequently coddles privileged students and gaslights marginalized populations in her classrooms. All protests to her appointment have been ignored or shuffled under the rug. We are not emotional. We are not stopping. We will not be silenced. Remove Dr. Kendra King Momon from the provost seat.
The administration ignored us but they cannot ignore the sheer scale of the backlash anymore. This momentum proves Oglethorpe is terrified of the truth about Momon and we are just getting started.

Oglethorpe needs to do better. Keeping her around after all the things she said is a slap in the face to everyone in the lgbt community.

How is she even still employed here?? Absolutely disgusting behavior towards students who are just trying to get an education.

She needs to go. That could have been a cry for help and she turned her nose up at her.

She's been a menace to the college for decades.

Earlier this semester, I reached out to Dr. Momon and other staff/faculty in the registrars office. I have a very specific minor that the university has courses listed on their website as required courses. It is my junior year and when I saw that once again none of the classes I need were going to offered in the fall of my senior year, I decided to contact them. I received no help from Dr. Momon and she told another professor to handle the problem and find a solution on his own for me. The courses I need are history courses, which is the department that Dr. Momon was department chair of (History, Philosophy and Politics). Dr. Momon has been no help to me in my situation and clearly has no concern about me not getting the courses I need to graduate. The only solution I have been offered by anyone is to attend another university in the Atlanta area to get the course credits I need. All while the University still has my minor degree program listed on their website along with the courses that have not been offered in over four years.
