Topic	Professor who resigned over controversial tweets found dead in his home
Houston 07/23/20 10:17:49 PM #8:	UnfairRepresent posted... I don't get this attitude of "I have free right to say whatever I want, therefore it's wrong for my employer to fire me for it." They can fire you for making them look bad. That's not a free speech violation For Universities, it's a bit different, particularly for tenured professors. Notice how he resigned willingly (though obviously immense pressure was added) and they gave him $500,000. He probably could have fought it if he refused to retire early. --- "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." - Dr Seuss <cite>Houston posted [p:942508904] in Professor ...
