Jeffrey L. Harrison, a retired UF law professor, lost his emeritus status following a political post he made on Facebook.
Harrison made a post about the killing of Charlie Kirk, a popular conservative activist, the same day Kirk was shot and killed on a college campus in Utah.
“I did not want him to die,” Harrison wrote in a Facebook post, referring to Kirk. “I reserve that wish for Trump.”
UF responded to Harrison’s post just over a week later on Sept. 19 in a statement that left Harrison unnamed.
“The University of Florida has been made aware of a retired faculty member who issued a post on social media that is raising concerns,” UF wrote in an X post. “In accordance with the university’s policies and regulations, UF has rescinded this individual’s emeritus status.”
