I was informed about controversial statements that were made by one of our faculty members at a conference this past weekend. After a thorough review was conducted of the video recordings of the statements, it became clear to me that his actions amounted to serious professional and personal misconduct.
Conduct that advocates for inciting violence is directly contrary to the values of Texas State University. I cannot and will not tolerate such behavior.
As a result, I have determined that his actions are incompatible with their responsibilities as a faculty member at Texas State University. Effective immediately, his employment with Texas State University has been terminated.
