Professor and two workers celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk. University said First Amendment protects them.
Slashing budgets is a language the university lefties understand.

Clemson University is paying employees who are explicitly calling on people to murder Christians on campus. “Be a Tyler Robinson” is an unequivocal call for violence.

The professors can say whatever they want.
The taxpayers are not required to fund them however.
Keep cutting and slashing the budget until the university fires them.
Intelligence officials stated that the university system met all of the criteria for designation, including extremist indoctrination, promoting violence, and murdering dissidents.

Defund Clemson anyway.
They'll be fine. People will still support the football team.
Leftism grows because we keep funding it.
The seditious education system is a domestic enemy.
Why pay for it? It’s no different than paying Putin for oil or providing food that goes right into the hands of Hamas.

Yeah, well government funding should NEVER have been given to colleges and universities in the first place. It’s not a power of the federal government enumerated in the Constitution.
The university protects them not the first amendment. The first amendment restricts public governmental entities from restricting speech, not private entities such as Clemson. They can fire them but do not want to because their speech is aligned with Clemson management’s sentiments.
However, some privileged racial groups can circumvent that with their ropey matted crawling cooties hair.
Purge the trustees , fire the president, and abolish tenure. Bring in a new leadership team and clean house, but start with the governance structure.
BTTT
Fid they do there celebrating as just plain citizens, or as perfessors? Not that it matters. Unseemly behavior should have consequences.
It would be interesting to see what standards Clemson sets for professors and workers. There is usually caveat that certain conduct is not permitted. This usually includes what is said or written.
“Professor”, “University”
What could possibly go wrong?? /s
Anyone sending little Johnny or Susie to these murdering communist endocrination sites is pissing good money down a bad drain.
Clemson had no right to taxpayer money.
Clemson is a land grant university as are many others - 106 in total.
Go back to the original mission statement. The land-grant law specified the mission of these institutions: to focus on the teaching of practical agriculture, science, military science, and engineering—although “without excluding other scientific and classical studies. Shed every college\department that doesn’t fit closely with the original mission.
The main mission now of land grant schools is to provide Saturday afternoon sports entertainment. It has a minor education function but its kept in the background so it doesn’t get in the way of the main entertainment function.
Since “education” is in the background look what its gotten away with! Much of this is our own fault we only pay attention when the “sports part” wins\loses. State legislatures are generally fine with what goes on as long as they get good seats!
