A University of Central Florida professor who posted some controversial tweets following the summer riots will be fired despite having tenure, after the university sought complaints from students against him.

Charles Negy, an associate psychology professor, tweeted that “black privilege is real” following the riots that resulted from the police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As The Daily Wire previously reported, UCF couldn’t fire Negy for his tweet, so it opened a massive investigation into his decades-long career to find something it could use to terminate him.
