Carnegie Mellon Takes Swift Action Against Professor Over 2026 Posts on Charlie Kirk

Summary
Carnegie Mellon said Monday it had determined professor Uju Anya’s recent X posts violated community standards and moved from a review announced Sunday to unspecified “swift action.”
University leaders said the posts used expletives, racial slurs and dehumanizing language, while invoking Anya’s CMU affiliation and implying support from colleagues.
Faculty and administrators told campus leaders over the weekend they feared for their safety after doxxing and threatening messages; campus police said they had found no credible threat to the university.
Anya is already on voluntary professional leave through summer 2027 and is not teaching this academic year, while Carnegie Mellon College Republicans are demanding she be fired.
The dispute follows Anya’s posts near the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s 2025 assassination and revives scrutiny after her 2022 post about Queen Elizabeth II drew backlash.
