Somehow I don't think he's the "Professor Turgeson" type.

CLA canceled in-person classes Tuesday after a former lecturer and postdoctoral fellow sent a video referencing a mass shooting and an 800-page manifesto with “specific threats” to members of the university’s philosophy department Monday.
Several emails from department leaders and obtained by The Times inform students and faculty that Matthew Harris made threats toward the philosophy department and people in it. In some of the emails, sent over the course of Monday evening, department heads recommend moving to virtual learning, and multiple instructors did so, alerting students that in-person classes would be canceled.
A campus alert sent shortly after midnight stated that authorities didn’t have “specific information” Harris was in California.
“Nonetheless, out of an abundance of caution, all classes will be held remotely tomorrow, Feb 1,” according to the alert. “We will keep you updated on developments.”

Well, he put some serious effort into it. Even if it's just a stream-of-consciousness rant, 800 pages?! Wow.
Ugh... I won’t say it, but you know what I’m thinking.
Whew! For a minute I was worried it may be a threat to the afrogender DUHversity studies group.
Say it. I have no idea what you’re thinking.
OK, odds: Right winger, or Leftist commie? Christian or other?

‘F**k integration, it didn’t work’: Former UCLA philosophy lecturer threatens mass shooting in email and 300 YouTube videos warning ‘da war is coming’ - forcing the school to shut campus and take all classes remote
Matthew Harris sent the expletive-ridden email to the UCLA department
He also uploaded 300 videos on YouTube about shootings and integration
It’s unclear if he took the YouTube account down or if YouTube suspended it
He is believed to be living now on the East Coast after being place on leave last year
It is unclear if he has been spoken to by law enforcement or arrested
The threat nonetheless sparked panic on campus, with UCLA cancelling all in-person classes
Harris was placed on leave in Spring last year pending an investigation into claims he sent a student a pornographic video
Multiple students complained about him on university website The Daily Bruin
Took them a long time to find the Unabomber. This guy wasn’t so smart it seems if they already know who he is.
Somehow I don't think he's the "Professor Turgeson" type.
LA Times staff whitewashing the truth.
Again news must come from the foreign press as American press are liars.
Okay, class, for your homework assignment this weekend I want each of you to write an 800 page manifesto - but go easy on the death threats. Double-spaced, 8 point font, 1.5 inch margins - don’t try to skimp on your prose by screwing around with the formatting.

Crazy black dude. See my #10
Why did they pull the racist murderous 800 page rant of a black man from the internet?
Nonetheless, out of an abundance of caution...

“Abundance of caution” is the new “person of interest”.
Th Feds never found the Unabomber. His sister-in-law and/or brother found him. The FBI is worthless.
The DM article — unlike the slavishly woke LATimes — makes it clear Harris was a diversity / Affirmative Action hire. From DM’s story:
“Other students had previously written about Harris on teacher-review websites, such as bruinwalk.com.
‘This professor is extremely unprofessional and has sent his personal p*rnographic content to a student,’ one student wrote in March 2021, linking to Harris’ YouTube channel. ‘Please fire this professor, his actions are not acceptable by any standards,’ the student added.
Writing in October 2020, another said: ‘Easily my least favorite class at ucla ever. He is very dry and could not care less about the class.’
The author of the anonymous review went on to say that in once case, Harris had changed the grade of another student 43 times after the quarter had finished.
They also wrote that the lecturer would repeatedly change the syllabus, and that he ‘started messaging people in the middle of the summer saying that he spilled Chinese food on their final and that they need to resubmit it.’ “
