Is an agent of the government. As such his first amendment rights are violated. There should be immediate injunctive relief in addition to the slander and libel civil causes of action.

We need to face the fact that we are in the middle of a bloodless Marxist revolution. Now that they control all of the levers of power they will go forward with all of the brutality of Stalin. It is going to get real ugly.
For somebody.
UVA is not a “state school” & never has been since its founding by Thomas Jefferson.
