The College Fix reports:
Wisconsin professor on leave for allegedly flipping College Republicans’ table on Election Day
Professor Jose Felipe Alvergue, head of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire English Department, has been placed on administrative leave after allegedly flipping over a table set up by the university’s College Republicans.
The incident occurred Tuesday morning, a special Election Day in Wisconsin, as members of UW-Eau Claire’s College Republicans set up an informational table advocating for conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel and superintendent candidate Brittany Kinser.
“A professor came up and flipped our table in a violent attack towards us,” Tatiana Bobrowicz, the CR chapter chair, stated in a video posted to social media following the incident. “This is unacceptable.”
According to a statement issued by Interim Provost Michael Carney, administration quickly placed Alvergue on administrative leave pending a formal investigation.
“I am deeply concerned that our students’ peaceful effort to share information on campus on Election Day was disrupted,” Carney said in a statement given to several news outlets.
“UW-Eau Claire strongly supports every person’s right to free speech and free expression, and the university remains committed to ensuring that the campus is a place where a wide variety of opinions and beliefs can be shared and celebrated.”
“We are working with the Universities of Wisconsin and the Office of General Counsel, which is conducting a comprehensive investigation of this matter. The faculty member involved has been placed on administrative leave pending that investigation,” Carney stated.
Alvergue did not immediately respond to The College Fix’s requests for comment Tuesday. University Director of Communications Michael Knuth declined further comment in an email to The College Fix, citing Carney’s statement to the media.

the anti life professor ..that is
The perp should be fired and jailed!
All he had to do is wait till the “absentee ballots” came in on the Supreme Court election.
I’m tired of the admin leave BS. Fire his ass off campus.
Criminally charge the professor.
Why is it that things that are criminal that take place in campus protests are rarely charged? Does your student body or faculty card function as a get-out-of-jail-free card?
There is no “alleged” about it! You can see her on the video doing it.
“Her”?
Also, what video? There is no video of the incident included in this post, or in the linked article. That would seem to indicate no such video exists, since if it did it would surely be included.
