You wouldn’t get fired at Rutgers:

Or Drexel:

Or Yale:

But say things that are embarrassing yet true of minority students at Georgetown, and you’ll be fired and disowned by the college in under 48 hours:

To be clear when I wrote my post I had in mind classroom instruction. The first two links are about comments made outside of the classroom, by tenured professors nonetheless. Hard to fire them for almost anything, but it does happen from time to time. The Drexel professor was later placed on administrative leave and then resigned.

The Yale link was about a lecture given by someone not affiliated with the University.

Yes, much easier to do with adjuncts compared to tenured professors.
