Clemson University is getting hammered on X for its stance on the professor's that said vicious things about the assassination of Charley. Now state legislatures are wanting to defund Clemson's state funds.

They sure are. It’s already been on Fox News as well. #DefundClemson is trending.
What was Clemson's stance? I saw what the professor said but not Clemson's response
Would not bother me if they fired him
there were others that were fired for similar statements
there were others that were fired for similar statements
The solution is simple. Fire them. It’s hate speech.
I am not a political person but many of these politicians need to look in the mirror and get off social media. Every college campus in America has people most of us would never agree with, support, or understand. To start some movement to defund Clemson over an individual just shows how small minded some of these politicians are. How about the other 20,000 people at the University that are trying to do the right thing? I have no idea what an individual said but I am sure it will be addressed. I've got a 20 year old asking me if these so called future governors are going to try and close the University which is ridiculous political posturing
Man, I wish I hadn’t spent 15 minutes reading through those comments. 95% of the people on Twitter seem to be complete morons.
Thast the funny thing, he didnt actually say anything offensive. He just didnt go out of his way to feel bad for him.
This is what I don’t get. Literally politicians and so called Clemson fans are not going to ever give money to the school again over this? lol makes no sense to me. People are actually insane and need to take a step back from social media and go enjoy life
I’m not speaking to whatever a Clemson professor/employee said, but “South Carolina Freedom Caucus” sounds like a group name for a bunch of Karen’s.
Am I missing something? Clemson’s statement condemned his. Do people want him fired?
It’s not just one. It’s at least 3. And yes, people want them fired. They also don’t think Clemson’s statement was good enough. Lots of people calling for Clements to resign and are threatening to stop donating to the University and IPTAY. Numerous state and federal officials have contacted Clemson and expressed concerns about current and future funding.
Logical, lowkey politicians don't make headlines
All three should be fired. They celebrated the assassination of someone. Only someone demonic would do that or be ok with it.
the professor suggested others act out as Mangioni or Charlie Kirk's shooter did. Literally. That's not hate speech that an attempting to inspire younger people to murder someone. Clemson needs to not only fire that individual but find others that speak that way and fire them. Period. Otherwise it should lose funding.
this is what the prod said - Clemson should lose funding if it does not take action.

Pure evil. Demonic, sick people. We are in a spiritual war.
Imagine if the same would’ve been said about George Floyd. They would’ve been fired on the spot. Cowardly move by Clemson.
there is nothing funny about any of it...you seem to be defending them which is disgusting.
BINGO...there would be riots and Clemson's campus would probably be destroyed. I love President Clements and all he has done for Clemson but allowing this and putting out a statement but taking no action is basically condoning and allowing it. Words are cheap...do something about it. I mean at least suspend them at a minimum but they literally went to social media and praised the shooter. Embarrassing look for Clemson and bad publicity
Clements needs to sack up and do what everyone else has done in the same situation
Nancy mace is leading the charge with her pitchfork. Of course ignoring her own inflammatory and false claims. It’s such a classic playbook for impulsive people. Quick Look over there! Ignore what I just did.
While I agree This is a bad look for CU, but is anybody on this board actually going to “boycott” or stop donating to CU/Iptay over this? Maybe I’m wrong but I doubt it
The thing is...IPTAY has zero to do with it. It is a completely different entity and completely separate but I can see and even understand if some want to stop with giving to the university.
This is a big deal
