Is UT planning any type of tribute or moment of silence on Saturday in honor of Charlie Kirk's assassination?

And that's a very partisan take. A tribute to him would be an inappropriate endorsement of his political views. It could also cause extra work for security from resultant kerfuffles..

How is saying it’s ok if they do or don’t being partisan?

I haven't read all the responses, but it would be appropriate if they have a moment of silence for Kirk's death. There will be a lot of people there today that loved him. No reasonfor anyone to be angry about it. It's a MOMENT of time

Back up a line or so.

Who cares if someone sees it as partisan. Having to constantly worry about people’s feelings is a big part of what’s wrong with this country. I’m a staunch conservative but would absolutely approve of a moment of silence or tribute to any on the left if the situation were similar. Nationally televised political assassinations are bigger than partisan politics.

Because it was nationally televised? The guy was a partisan political commentator, not a President, religious or civil rights leader or someone else that really mattered to people across the board.

I think you are way underestimating his importance as this is probably the biggest such event in half a century. Either way, I don't want to argue. I mainly wanted to see if anyone knew if there would be any type of tribute and it looks like no one knows - so probably not.
