Who is Christina Paxson? The Brown University president facing increased scrutiny over mass shooting response

As the manhunt for the perpetrator of a deadly mass shooting at Brown University enters its 5th day, the prestigious institution’s president, Christina Paxson, is facing mounting criticism for her response to the crisis.

In a Tuesday press conference, law enforcement and university officials had very little to tell the public in regard to any leads or potential motives revealed by their investigation into the shooting that left two students dead and Paxon sparked criticism online over an answer where she discussed gun violence.

"The primary point that I wanted to address before we get to questions is that Brown is deeply committed to the safety, security, and well-being of our community. And I’ve been deeply saddened to see people questioning that," Paxson told reporters amid questions about why the school has been unable to provide video of the shooter from inside the building or any concrete information about a suspect.

"Paxson is an economist who has served as Brown’s 19th president since 2012 after previously serving as the dean of the School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.

Paxson earned just over $3 million dollars in 2023, according to the Brown Daily Herald, which represented a roughly 74% increase in pay from the previous year and includes various compensation arrangements in addition to her base salary of about 1.3 million.

Since her hiring in 2012, Paxson’s pay has increased over 700%, the outlet reported."

That is absolutely obscene.

She should be charged as an accessory to murder.

The news media love to call these paper mill indoctrination centers “prestigious institutions”. Like every place in the Middle East is a “Holy City”.

“...the prestigious institution’s...”

And why I haven’t turned on Fox News in a dozen years. Nice to know that the libtard Paxon is getting millions a year (like all colleges) from taxpayers as we approach $40,000,000,000,000 in debt soon and inevitable financial collapse no matter what President Trump does.

All the authorities in charge are pathaticwimps, and a native born American citizen could not be found to be the police chief, evidently.

This is DEI in action.

There must not be any men left in that area, with all the geldings running things.

What used to be called a “Montessori kid” - could read every word on the page, but not enough sense to figure out how to turn to the next page.

DEI hire.

She didn’t even know the class where the shooting took place.

The cameras they have look like 1997 webcam - low quality footage garbage. Again, DEI hire and kickbacks.

Ivy League school - almost 100k a year and parents are sending their kids off to this.

Net says 10 shots to the head of the victim, who was a rare Republican leader female (RIP).

Likely another ‘transtifa’ targeted attack on a conservative.

Where are the arrests for the group that supported and predicted in advance Charlie Kirk’s murder?

They won’t tell us what the killer yelled in the Brown case. “Aloha snack bar”??

Incompetence.

We lived in a feminized, weak and declining west ripe for takeover by a determined foe.

I am sick of these morons earning $3M for doing a $75K job. If you want to produce something to earn that kind of money, fine. But if you want to sit around twiddling your thumbs and going to meetings in academia, the top person should earn about $120K.

“Likely another ‘transtifa’ targeted attack on a conservative.”

That would certainly explain why the authorities are refusing to share many details about what happened.

I agree with you. Plenty of stuff out there right now regarding this shooting which make zero sense. Rumors and rumblings abound because of the lack of real information.

The Chief of Police’s son or nephew is a convicted drug dealer/smuggler (https://www.rimonthly.com/the-chief-the-sergeant-and-their-nephew/) and he actually gave a portion of his report in friggin’ Spanish the other day.

This Mustafa kid, is he even real? If so, where is he? Was his online presence at Brown really scrubbed?

Were the cameras on Brwon really removed because the administration didn’t want ICE to use them to search for illegals? That’s huge if true.

Rumors are also going around stating the reason why there are rumblings Ella was targeted, is because she was shot ten times in the head. Once again, huge if true.

Is the FBI tamping this down to keep a lid on the Color Revolution folks have been talking about recently?

I’d like to hear from Ella’s parents and kids who were actually in the room with her, not from this clown show running the “investigation.”

You can bet your ass that if the FBI is involved there is skullduggery afoot because the FBI is crooked as a dog’s hind leg. The girl was probably marked to be killed. And we have has two potential leaders eliminated and nothing has been done about it. Nor will be done about it. oh, may or may not go to jail but those who Masterminded both assassinations roam wild and free.
