A fired Clemson University professor is back on payroll after a controversial social media post about Charlie Kirk’s murder led to his dismissal—and now, a settlement. Dr. Joshua Bregy will keep his benefits and research ties until May 2026, but won’t teach or interact with students. The university will also provide positive job references. This case, along with a similar one in Tennessee, is fueling a bigger conversation about how far free speech protections go for faculty. How should universities balance public outcry with academic freedom? Where do you think the line should be drawn? #Education #College #Clemson
