Fresno State University in California says an American history professor who tweeted that President Donald Trump "must hang" will be on paid leave for the rest of the semester.
The university says in a statement Tuesday that professor Lars Maischak has taken a voluntary leave of absence for the remainder of the spring semester. Maischak could not immediately be reached for comment.
Last week, Maischak apologized for tweeting: "To save American democracy, Trump must hang. The sooner and the higher, the better."
Far-right websites such as Breitbart News highlighted the tweet, sparking angry calls on social media for the professor to be fired.
The university declined to say if Maischak would be back to teach in the fall, saying it was continuing to review the case.

Paid leave is a reward for bad behavior.

Anti-Trump tweet?
Sounded to me like a death threat.

Bingo on the death threat. These guys can’t even write a simple, honest headline.

Paid leave, now that is really hurting him terribly. /sarcasm

Maybe he’ll run into a Patriot more than willing to exercise his/her Second Amendment rights

How lovely, time for an extended, luxurious vacation.
But, but, how can we ever expect him to bear up under such a heavy penalty? This surely should keep others from doing the same thing./sarc

Fresno State students will be treated to well-twisted minds for the stack of bucks they are paying for the privilege.
Can you imagine what kind of other freaks are crouching down in the faculty scrum?
