Prof Tweets That He’d ‘Be OK if #BetsyDevos Was Sexually Assaulted

National Review ^ | 9/11/17

A professor at Austin Community College tweeted that he would “be OK if #BetsyDevos was sexually assaulted” because of her intentions to change the guidelines for how colleges handle sexual assault.

Rob Ranco, who is an adjunct professor of paralegal studies, posted the tweet on Friday. It has since been deleted, but not before a screenshot was obtained by Campus Reform. It stated, in full:

“I’m not wishing for it… but I’d be ok if #BetsyDevos was sexually assaulted. #SexualAssault #TitleIX”

This hack has since been fired.

Good. I do not wish for him to be sexually assaulted. However, he could be wrongfully accused of it. Let’s see what he thinks of “due procees” then.

[blackdog]

Only the best to shape our minds, eh?

90% of academia are il-equipped when it comes to the tools to do their job. Hammer / nail is about all they got.

[Puppage]

Sick F’n liberals.

[cdcdawg]

The professor needs a grammar refresher.

Hope he walks into a m*slim area to meet and greet the warm, kind, tolerant people and gets to see exactly what m*slims do to the people who they hate so much.

He’s not an academic. He’s an adjunct in a paralegal program - probably a lawyer picking up a few extra bucks. He’s an idiot for not knowing how to keep his mouth shut on social media when you have that kind of job.

They are totally despicable. All of America’s political problems are rooted in these punks.

They educate the lawyers, judges, journalists, clergymen, teachers and professors who are destroying our culture.

Ninety percent of them should be shut down.

His name is misspelled, it should be RanKo. What a jerk.

Resigned not fired. Typical lib non-apology.

UPDATE: Justice has been served...

'It was a mistake': Round Rock attorney resigns after controversial Betsy DeVos tweet

KVUE's Jenni Lee has confirmed that Robert Ranco resigned after his tweet from Friday about Betsy DeVos received significant backlash. Carlson Law Firm released the following statement to KVUE after Ranco's resignation:

For those of you who are wondering why this took so long, let me start by saying that this firm is a family and believe it's up to me to show the same loyalty that I ask of my people. I wasn't going to make a rash decision about a member of this family just to appease people on social media.

That said, I considered the health of everyone in our organization, promised my partners and my employees that we would act according to the values of our firm, and sat down to speak with Mr. Ranco.

In the end, we came to the same two conclusions:
With over 150 employees - 75% or whom are women - anyone in our company advocating or even expressing apathy towards sexual assault is affront to all victims and a line that simply cannot be uncrossed.

This has been an enormous distraction that has taken us away from the mission of our firm, which is to care for and help people.

Understanding and accepting this, Rob is taking full responsibility and choosing to resign.

As a man of faith, believer in forgiveness, and longtime friend, it is my sincere hope that Rob with learn from this experience and go on to have a very successful career.

Web search shows Rancho is a race hustler. And, what sort of man would put this pic of him and his wife on Twitter? This doesn't seem to indicate he cares much about sexual issues or respecting his wife.

Interestingly he’s described as a partner in this firm:

But his mugshot doesn’t appear in the rogues gallery. Maybe they pulled it?

Wonder why it wouldn’t be there otherwise, being a partner and all. I’m not asking that his firm would lose any business as a result of this but I’d be OK with it....

Adjunct: a thing added to something else as a supplementary rather than an essential part.

I would be ok if they fired his non-essential ass.

[Kenton]

1 more sad case of professional suicide by Twitter.

[bigbob]

Ah, you’re a step ahead of me, thanks!

Subjunctive Watchers -- were there any -- would agree.

[jch10]

Must be fired! Unfit to teach anything!

Did you notice their YouTube video of “Our Team” is gone, too?

“OK, Marketing team, I want that video edited TODAY! Get Ranco out of there!”
