University suspends professor for tweets criticizing slavery reparations, racial bias training

‘I will not back down. We can’t live scared anymore for being who we are,’ professor says

Gregory Manco, a math professor at St. Joseph’s University, has been suspended by administrators for tweets in which he argued against slavery reparations and racial bias training.

A written notice from the school’s human resources department to Manco called the tweets “biased or discriminatory,” and he has since been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation.

At issue are three tweets from his anonymous account, “South Jersey Giants.”
