Carnegie Mellon College Republicans ask university to fire Uju Anya

College Republicans of Carnegie Mellon University are piling pressure on the institution to terminate Uju Anya, a U.S.-Nigerian professor infamous for her inflammatory anti-White rants on social media.
“The Carnegie Mellon College Republicans are calling for Professor Uju Anya’s dismissal in the wake of politically violent statements on social media,” a statement dated September 13 said.
The group said Ms Anya’s “voluntary professional leave” was insufficient to “address the serious concerns her conduct has created among the community”.
On Friday she tweeted, “Die first, White man and ask yourself why I’m dancing.”
The group argued that Ms Anya’s conduct was unbecoming for her position as a professor, urging the school to fire her.
“A university that prides itself on inclusion and safety cannot allow a faculty member who promotes violence, even rhetorically, to remain on its payroll,” the statement said. “Professors hold unique positions of influence, and with that comes a responsibility to model civil and fact-based dialogue, not to dehumanise those who disagree.”
Ms Anya, a homosexual academic of race studies at the school, is better known as a major campaigner for anti-White hate across U.S. social media platforms than for her work as an associate professor.
As a Nigerian of Igbo origin, Ms Anya has cultivated a reputation for deriding White people and celebrating their deaths. In February 2021, she mocked conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh for finally doing “something positive in life by dropping dead”.
In 2022, Ms Anya, in a thread of tweets, wished the Queen “an agonisingly painful death like the one she caused for millions of people”.
“I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating,” Ms Anya tweeted in September 2022.
The group insisted that Ms Anya “must be held accountable and immediately fired”.
