Conservative professor reaffirms belief that dean refused to renew his contract over political views | The College Fix
The conservative law professor said that the former dean told him directly that if he did not retract and apologize for his political tweets, then his contract would not be renewed. His contract to teach at Miami ran until June 2022.
Not that it might not be renewed, that it absolutely 100% would not be renewed. There was no doubt in what he told me. It was done. My job was over, Ravicher told The College Fix in an email on June 22.
He continued:
The dean says my support of President Trump would have played no role in the decision to renew my contract, but he noticeably doesn t say my tweets and other public statements wouldn t play a role. Sure, if I want to support President Trump, so long as I keep my mouth shut, or at least don t say anything he or other liberals find offensive (which is basically anything pro-Second Amendment, pro-life, pro-voting integrity, etc.), then I can keep my job. That s the line he s drawing. He won t say my pro-Trump, and conservative tweets won t affect my job in any way, because the truth is they do and will.
The former Miami professor said he knew his contract wouldn t be renewed because I was not going to retract or apologize for anything I said. Ravicher also said that Varona told his students they could elect to change the letter grade to pass/no pass because of Ravicher s impartial grading, following his tweets.
Who to believe? The fired professor or the former dean? Heh. Just kidding.
