Following the shooting death of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania praised the assassin.
Julia Alekseyeva is an assistant professor of English and Cinema & Media Studies at UPenn. She called the alleged assassin an “icon” on her TikTok and Instagram accounts.
Accuracy in Media has long demanded accountability for hate at UPenn, and this is no exception. We sent our activist network to UPennLovesMurder.com to send a message to the university's Board of Trustees.
And here's the win for AIM: After thousands of emails were sent to the Board, Alekseyeva issued a public apology. However, that doesn't change the fact that their university continues to embrace radicalism, racism, and violence.
Of course, we are glad Alekseyeva apologized. But this is emblematic of a much wider problem, and AIM will continue to demand accountability where universities fail to.
