WRIC Richmond ^ | September 17, 2025 | Jazmine Mills

Auburn University President Christopher Roberts has released a statement regarding the firing of university employees after violating the school’s Code of Conduct.

In a statement released Wednesday afternoon, Roberts says the school was made aware of social media posts that were “hurtful, insenstitive and completely at odds with Auburn’s values of respect, integrity and responsibility in violation of our Code of Conduct.”

If college presidents were smart, they would take advantage of this moment to purge the worst of the leftist revolutionaries from the faculty. Fire them all.

University employees that cheer the killing of Charlie Kirk are also cheering a school shooting.

Posts supporting violence and celebrating it are not “hurtful” they are literally threats; these hateful leftists are getting fired and expelled for threats, not “hurtful” words.

The media 1084 newspeak is becoming extremely tiring.

That’s a good point. I hadn’t thought of it like that, but it’s true.

Oh my how the tables have turned.

The left has been insensitive for decades,

merciless in its comments on Trump and his family.

Putting a transvestite on the cover of vogue,

sports illustrated with trans and large swimsuit models

,voting a man woman of the year....

over night sensibility woke up and realized the left is much smaller and meaner than ever imagined.

I thank American eagle for finally hiring a model most of America actually wants to look at.

American eagle is full of Chinese and indochinese clothes.

Careful here.

This must only be over threats and violence promotion and celebration, not over distasteful free speech. Anti-free speech crackdowns will end poorly, disasterously for all, especially the good and kind.

Thanks leftests and stupid adults in administrative governance!

And employees who celebrate campus shootings leaves a University with enormous legal liability in case something happens on their campus.

Auburn University, along with the U of A, have been hotbeds for queers and perverts for decades. Especially nasty are the drama/theater departments.

Celebrating the death of bin laden or sulemani....should THAT tiktoker be disciplined by a university?

Or your employer?

Distasteful speech should not require leaving a school or job. Maybe such speech might cause employers to consider you unfit for teaching children or nursing, but....these people are admittedly immoral to the hilt and still employed, so what is one more lapse in judgement for crae crae.

Yelling fire in a crowded theater....bad.

Celebrating the death of a terrorist or pedophile...or saint or martyr is very poor taste to Jesus.

If Jesus wants us all dead and to come to Him, it is on his timing, not man's.

....unless we cannot contain the bad man from continuing evil, like prison.

But we “celebrate” the beating death of a pedophile rapist already in prison....with pent-up frustration.....like these leftists do Kirk, with pent-up frustration for christian morality and truth.

Slippery slope.

Abortion is child murder by the parents and that must be said.

The cross-pollination of leftist lunacy across universities is nearly universal with perhaps the exception of Hillsdale College and Liberty University.

Just because the students at U of A, Auburn and other Southern and Midwest universities may be center or right of center doesn’t mean the faculty is.

Decades ago there was “club day” at Alabama. There was the LGBTQ+ table set up, so frat boys set up a Sheep Fornicators’ Union table. Bet the administration wouldn’t allow that today.

Hmmm, I dunno. This will be turned on us. We won’t be able to disagree or call out anything the Ds do.

I can see future democrat administrations turning this against us. While it may make us feel a sense of the bad guys getting their comeuppance, it will someday come back to bite us in the butt. Yes, an employer has the right to fire someone who breaks their rules, and some of the things they said about Charlie are disgusting, this will not end well for conservatives in the future. All it takes is one regime change for us to be the ones getting fired or worse, arrested. “Vengeance is Mine, saith the LORD. I will repay!”

Mr. GG2’s nephew is the President of a well known Southern college and he held a meeting to let the staff and faculty know to watch what they say about Charlie Kirk very carefully because he’s not going to put up with any nonsense.

That is a distinction that must be emphasized. This is not a free speech issue, only the commie trash are framing it in that manner — for obvious reasons.

This is a safety issue. If a co-worked celebrates the murder of someone and simply states that they support the murder ‘cause the victim was: whatever; then you are next.

Go to HR and complain that the co-worker is encouraging an unsafe workspace. You do not feel safe with them in the office. This is in violation of policy, and HR must get rid of this person. An apology is insufficient. No, they must be purged just like someone accused of sexual assault. If not, then this meeting will be used in any lawsuit.
Make it official. Make a complaint.

I agree. But perhaps universities should fire employees cheering a shooting at a university.
