Professor Who Wrote Killing ‘Right-Wing’ Speakers Is ‘Admirable’ Gets Suspended

Professor suspended with pay

  • A Wayne State University (WSU) professor was suspended with pay after posting on Facebook that it is more “admirable” to kill a right-wing speaker than it is to shout them down on a college campus.
  • In his Facebook post, Steven Shaviro, a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences professor, wrote that though he does not support “violating federal and state criminal codes,” it is “far more admirable to kill a racist, homophobic, or transphobic speaker than it is to shout them down.” 
  • The professor was reportedly placed on leave and the posting was reported to law enforcement agencies for review.
