Fresno State says Barbara Bush-bashing professor can be fired despite tenure
Fox News ^ | April 18 2018 | Nicole Darrah

California State University's Fresno campus is investigating after one of their English professors tweeted she was "happy" former first lady Barbara Bush was dead just an hour after her passing was announced.

The author and professor, Randa Jarrar, tweeted a slew of comments about Bush, calling her "a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal."

Bush, 92, died Tuesday night just days after her family announced her health was failing.

Amid the backlash to her tweets, Jarrar, who also said she "can't wait for the rest of [the Bush] family to fall to their demise," said that she couldn't get fired from her job at Fresno State because of tenure.

“I work as a tenured professor. I make 100K a year doing that. I will never be fired. I will always have people wanting to hear what I have to say," she wrote on Twitter.

The university's provost, Lynnette Zelezny, referred to the professor's comments as "disrepectful" during a news conference Wednesday, and said the school is taking the situation "very seriously."

"We understand the concern from the community and we are taking this very seriously," Zelezny said, according to The Fresno Bee. "To answer the technical question: Can she not be fired? The answer is no."

Fresno State has reportedly not been in contact with Jarrar, who has been on a leave of absense during the spring semester.

Of course she can. She’s an idiot for thinking or saying otherwise.

"To answer the technical question: Can she not be fired? The answer is no."

Here's another technical question. Does the no before her statement negate the not or is it an affirmation.

I can't tell if the provost is saying the professor can be fired or can't be fired. You can interpret her statement either way.

“To answer the technical question: Can she not be fired? The answer is no.”

Or if you’re not in academia:

“To answer the technical question: Can she be fired? The answer is yes.”

From Wiki:

A tenured appointment is an indefinite academic appointment that can be terminated only for cause or under extraordinary circumstances, such as financial exigency or program discontinuation............

I thought the same. The provost apparently can’t put out a clear statement.

The charming professor

That level of obesity means she is unlikely to make it to her 90's.

They’re waiting to see if any major donors express an unwillingness to make further contributions too the school unless this wretched cow is fired. If there’s a donor impact, she gone.

Send her BACK to her own land, to fix the problems there that she RAN AWAY from.
