A dean at a Tennessee university was fired over social media posts saying she has "zero sympathy" for slain conservative activist, Charlie Kirk.
The move, "concerning the horrific and tragic murder of Charlie Kirk," Middle Tennessee State University's President Sidney McPhee said in a statement, came after what officials are calling the "political assassination" of the American right-wing activist on Sept. 10, and as comments from the school's assistant began making rounds on several social media platforms.
The school is about 40 miles south of downtown Nashville.
According to information from the university's website and social media pages, the school fired Laura Sosh-Lightsy, who "joined the MTSU family in June 2004. Laura has over two decades of experience in student development."
According to her LinkedIn page, Sosh-Lightsy was the assistant dean of students at MTSU and previously attended Western Kentucky University.
