Campus Reform reports that, as of Dec. 20 when this story was published, the University of Rhode Island professor whose outrageous Twitter rant included a threat against an NRA executive was still employed by the university.
A history professor who seemed to call for the death of the National Rifle Association’s CEO in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting is still teaching at the University of Rhode Island, a spokesman told Campus Reform on Thursday.
The outspoken professor’s employment continues despite apparent investigations into his remarks by the university’s dean’s office, the Rhode Island State Police, and a number of online news outlets.
The school’s spokesman Dave Lavallee confirmed on Thursday that Loomis continued as a professor but declined say whether or not there had been disciplinary action taken against him, citing privacy rules.
