This fashy professor and Unite the Right veteran is now unemployed.

From the article:

Days after his name was tied to white-supremacist propaganda accounts, Logan Smith has left Austin Peay State University. The exit comes after protests by students and community members in Clarksville. Smith joined APSU’s Department of Psychological Science and Counseling as an assistant professor in August.

Michael Licari, APSU's president, announced the decision in a letter on Monday.

“I am writing to inform you that on Friday, Sept. 20, 2024, Austin Peay State University and Dr. Logan Smith mutually agreed to end employment, effective immediately,” writes Licari.

Smith was identified in April 2023 as the person behind multiple propaganda accounts publishing a broad range of hate speech, including praise for Adolf Hitler, attacks on minorities and support for the nuclear extermination of humanity. Sunlight Anti-Fascist Action, a self-identified “collective of anti fascist researchers,” posted extensive documentation tying Smith to these accounts, which operated under the pseudonym “Levi” Smith.

From the article:

Over 50 students gathered outside the Austin Peay State University Board of Trustees meeting on Friday to protest the recent hiring of a professor alleged to be affiliated with a website that promotes Nazism, racism and hate group activity.

The board was holding its regularly scheduled public meeting relating to student affairs, business and finance. It became a standing-room-only gathering, with students both inside and outside the building holding up signs in protest. Students assembled around the board room and marched onto campus.

…

The matter was not discussed at Friday’s Board of Trustees meeting, as it was not on the agenda and no one signed up ahead of time to address the board during the public comments portion of the meeting.

Shay Daniels, a Black student, said the professor’s presence as a faculty member sends the message that students of color are not welcome. She said this is not “something that blows up and goes away in a couple of days.”

“We’re here to say that it’s not going away,” Daniels said.
