A professor at Louisiana State University has resigned after he claimed the newly-elected Republican governor of the state already asked the university to fire him.
Robert Mann, who is the chair of Journalism at the Manship School of Mass Communication at the university, has spent his career serving in press roles for regional Democrat politicians.
He took to his X account on Sunday to announce that he had told the dean he would step down from his position at the end of the school year.
“The person who will be governor in January has already asked LSU to fire me. And I have no confidence the leadership of this university would protect the Manship School against a governor’s efforts to punish me and other faculty members,” he said.
“I’ve seen too much cowardice and appeasement from top LSU officials already. That being the case, it’s clearly best to remove myself from the equation to avoid any harm to the school I love.”
Mr Mann is referring to Jeff Landry, 52, who was elected on Saturday as Louisiana’s new governor.

The outlet spoke with Mr Mann on Sunday who allegedly described himself as “the biggest irritant on my campus” to conservative officials like Mr Landry.
“I’m proud of that; I’ve tried to be that,” he told The Daily Beast. “I’ve done it because I have tenure because I’m protected under the First Amendment. But this is not going to be a governor who I think has any respect for that. That’s what’s changed.”

Oh boy.
could it be that LSU will copy the path of The New College of Florida? We can only hope
Perhaps there are some student complaints and a forthcoming investigation into his activities, and he’s attempting to get out in front of it. Maybe he diddled one little boy too many, slept with a coed, or groped a male student. That’s typically why these government funded university tit-suckers with tenure resign. It never has anything to do with principles or honor. It’s always a legal issue and he’s looking for a soft landing spot.

He could have done a lot of things, but I think you are being like a Democrat to just make up things with no evidence.
Ahole prof will not allow anyone to respond to him, typical leftist
No idea what that means. Might be a good time for you to put down the liquor bottle and sober up.
As somebody once said... Elections have consequences.
Shirt sleeve’s are a little long.
More like Prof. man-child with a baby’s tantrum and no balls.
Don’t let the gators get you. I don’t want them poisoned.
He loves the school in spite of the “cowardice and appeasement” he’s seen in the administration. Or because of it?
Since this guy is obviously a Democrat activist there is a high chance that he’s done something illegal or against LSU regulations with regard to traveling, traveling expenses or working on Democrat political efforts on LSU paid time. I’ve seen this at an institute from which I retired.
My guess is he’s just trying to fend off probable investigations/charges.
