Second Vermont Republic Advisory Board Member Under Investigation

BREAKING!

The Baltimore Sun reports tonight (10:24 PM) that Loyola University Maryland is looking into allegations that Second Vermont Republic Advisory Board member Thomas J. DiLorenzo "has ties to" the League of the South.

"Timothy Law Snyder, Loyola vice president for academic affairs, said on Monday that the school "would not support anybody confirmed to be a member of a confirmed hate group. His response has been a denial of having that association."

"Asked if the school believes the League of the South is a confirmed hate group based on the Southern Poverty Law Center's listing, Snyder said, "It's something we would have to look into. And we're certainly aware of the allegations here, and based on the recent conversations that are taking place we are looking into them."

"Professor DiLorenzo has denied any affiliation," Snyder added, "so if we find there's more to this, certainly we would take appropriate action."
