Recently, we have come across various incidents of students being suspended because of many reasons relating to post on Facebook.
Now, according to Pocono Records, a professor at a northeastern Pennsylvania university says she’s been suspended indefinitely for what she though was a humorous posting on Facebook about hiring a hit man.
Gloria Gadsden, an East Stroudsburg University sociology professor, was put on paid leave indefinitely following a meeting with a dean and university administrators Wednesday afternoon.
“Does anyone know where i can find a very discrete hitman? Yes, it’s been that kind of day…,” wrote Ms Gadsden in a post.
In another comment, posted one month later, Gadsden wrote, “had a good day today, DIDN’T want to kill even one studen 
. Now Friday was a different story,” which she said she had removed.
Gadsden says officials referred to the shooting at the University of Alabam-huntsville earlier this month during the meeting.
Gadsden, who is black, claims the suspension had roots in a 2008 incident, when she published an essay in The Chronicle of Higher Education that was critical of what she saw as inadequate efforts to retain minority faculty on university campuses.
A university spokesman wouldn’t comment on Gadsden’s claims, calling it a personnel matter.
