AAUP president falsely labels Charlie Kirk assassin as “right-wing”The head of a major professors’ union is facing scrutiny after spreading false claims about the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s killing.Todd Wolfson, president of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and a Rutgers University professor, described alleged shooter Tyler Robinson as a “right wing kid,” despite evidence Robinson embraced leftist politics.Robinson, 21, is accused of fatally shooting Kirk during a Utah Valley University event.“How are the unhinged right-wing crew handling the fact that the assassin was a disturbed right-wing kid, influenced by Nick Fuentes, that likely murdered Kirk because he was not right wing [sic] enough?” the post from Wolfson questions, according to screenshots posted online.As of publishing time, the Facebook post has been deleted or restricted, and is not accessible.Wolfson’s remarks appear to conflict with AAUP’s guidelines urging members to remain accurate and restrained in public statements.“As scholars and educational officers, they should remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances,” AAUP’s policy states. “Hence, they should at all times be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the institution.”
