This seems to go a bit far, stupid irrational fears. To me it would seem like a harmless joke that I've hear nearly everybody make similar type comments when they are venting about a bad day. I guess at least she wasn't fired, but come on. there was harvard professor fired a while back for having pictures of him doing a funnel or something. It's ridiculous if you ask me. Thoughts?

She thought it was a humorous post about wanting to kill her students but school administrators didnt agree. See what you think. When Gloria Gadsden, a social professor at East Stroudsburg University, made the following comments on Facebook, she says she was joking:
Had a good day today, didnt want to kill even one student Now Friday was a different story
Does anyone know where I can find a very discrete hitman, its been that kind of day.
A student told the universitys administrators about the comments, and the school acted swiftly: Gadsden was suspended indefinitely for making threats.
Marilyn Wells, interim provost and vice president for academic affairs, gave the following statement: Given the climate of security concerns in academia, the university has an obligation to take all threats seriously and act accordingly.
But according to The Chronicle for Higher Education, the professor believes her complaint of racial harassment against the school last month is at least partially to blame for her current suspension.
