A tenured professor can be fired for moral turpitude. According to the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) Statement of Principles, tenure can be revoked for cause, including "moral turpitude," 1)
which is defined as behavior that would evoke condemnation by the academic community generally. This can encompass serious misconduct such as criminal conduct, sexual harassment, selling grades, theft, or other actions that bring the institution into disrepute.
2)
In cases involving moral turpitude, the requirement for one year of notice or severance pay may be waived. Examples of such dismissals include professors fired for using racial slurs in class or making offensive social media posts.

For those who do not know, there is a photo of bloodied hands describing the Democrats floating around Facebook and probably across social media after the assassination of Charlie Kirk and so many celebrating his death.
1)
People are fed up with their violence and projection.
What many people do not know, even those who support Israel in her existential war against Hamas, is there is another meaning for red bloodied hands that is used by the Democrats today.
2)
The red painted hands seen at some pro-Palestinian demonstrations are a symbol with deep and contentious historical roots, primarily linked to the Ramallah lynching of October 12, 2000, during the Second Intifada.

Parshat Ki Tavo
Deuteronomy 26:1–29:8
PARSHAT KI TAVO, like much of Torah, operates on several levels. 1)
On one level, the literal surface, it gives instructions, but then looks deeper and communicates how the performance of Mitzvot creates sociological and psychological civilizing and

humanizing consequences in the creation and continuation of a moral nation.

1)
killed passengers on aircraft, including one that crashed in Pennsylvania.
Question: What has been done since that has ended religiously motivated terrorism and evil?
Answer: Nothing.
2)
Instead, 9/11 was celebrated in much of the Muslim world, and subsequent hate-fueled massacres, terroristic killings, and disruptions are still celebrated in that same part of the world.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "While normal people feel bad about a political assassination, TikTok has been filled with short videos of people laughing about the murder of Charlie Kirk—laughing and celebrating.
1)
And in the media—not much better. MSNBC went so far as to look for reasons to excuse a murder.
And who are these people? Well, the TikTok videos mostly featured people with piercings in various parts of their faces and bodies, and

others were people who also joined pro-Hamas protest demonstrations.
Is there really any difference between these people and Hamas terrorists?"

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "I suppose I should be depressed seeing Americans on the media and in public interviews saying that the death of someone makes them happy.
Nothing could indicate a problem with morality in the USA more than that.
1)
But maybe I should not be surprised.
I remember the rush of happiness and support for Luigi Mangione when he committed murder.
2)
And, I remember still the parties and celebrations in some communities, cities in Michigan, Chicago, and New Jersey, when on 9/11/2001, the Twin Towers in Manhattan were destroyed by terrorists.
Something is seriously sick and to ignore it invites more problems.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "Interesting fact about allies. Who are the closest allies of the USA?
I don't mean just political or even cultures shared. I mean a place where the people really feel an affinity to the USA.
1)
How many nations commemorate 9/11 with a monument dedicated?????
Take a guess. I bet you'll guess the UK, France, or maybe Canada? You would be wrong.
2)
One nation in the entire world has a monument dedicated to those that died on 9/11 and those that are still dying from the dust and pollution left by the Twin Towers destruction.
