NYU Brings Back ‘Deplorable Professor', Awards Him a Raise
2016-11-16
Liberal studies professor Michael Rectenwald, the man behind the controversial @DeplorableNYUProf account, has been promoted by prestigious New York University and given a raise days after the University had put him on a paid leave for criticizing politically correct culture on campus.

Michael Rectenwald was promoted from clinical professor to full time professor on Monday, a source said to the NY Post.

In the initial interview with Heat Street on October 26, Rectenwald was outspoken against the current on-campus culture of social justice warriors and safe spaces. He likened academia to a mad house and claimed that "safe spaces" is an existential error.

#3  I wonder how much in federal money NYU gets. Could be they saw the writing on the side of buttered bread, or something.

#2  Cheaper in the long run than paying the lawyers.

#1  Likely because NYU realize they'd lose badly in the inevitable wrongful dismissal lawsuit.
