The Carnegie Mellon University has reacted to a Tweet posted by a Nigerian professor in the university, Uju Anya about the Queen shortly before she died on Thursday.
Uju Anya an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, had sparked outrage after calling the ailing Queen the head of a ‘thieving, raping, genocidal empire’.
Writing shortly before the Queen’s death was announced, Anya said she hoped the Monarch’s final hours of pain ‘be excruciating.’
However, the university said, “We do not condone the offensive and objectionable messages posted by Uju Anya today on her personal social media account.
“Free expression is core to the mission of higher education, however, the views she shared absolutely do not represent the values of the institution, nor the standards of discourse we seek to foster.”
