A candidate for the Montana House of Representatives and a post-doctoral fellow at Montana Technical University in Butte has been reappointed to his position with the public university, even amid a request for an investigation by the state’s largest human rights organization because of concerns that he is an avowed white supremacist and neo-Nazi.
The Daily Montanan requested and received the letter appointing Trenin Bayless through the end of 2024 as a post-doctoral researcher who will work with students, something that specifically concerned the Montana Human Rights Network, which provided a detailed dossier of social media activities and posts attributed to Bayless. MHRN provided that dossier to the university system as well as the Daily Montanan.
The Montana Human Rights Network had earlier in the summer asked the Board of Regents of the Montana University System, which has oversight of all public colleges and universities in the state, including Montana Tech, to investigate the claims and, at a minimum, eliminate contact Bayless has with students.
