Rutgers Prof Who Said Trump Shooting Should ‘Inspire Others’ Returning to Campus This Fall
“Todd Wolfson, president of the Rutgers AAUP-AFT faculty union, previously said the controversy over the professor’s comment was overblown.”
This professor made these comments right after the attempted assassination. Imagine if the politics were reversed and a prof said this about Obama. They would be unemployable right now.

Rutgers prof who said Trump shooting should ‘inspire others’ will return to teaching
A Rutgers professor who said on social media that she hoped the attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump would “inspire others” will be teaching this fall, Rutgers officials said.
The university put assistant professor Tracy Budd — a non-tenure-track, full-time English professor in Rutgers’ writing program — under review after she allegedly posted comments on Facebook about the attack on Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania in mid-July.
According to screen grabs of her social media account, she posted “Let’s hope today’s events inspire others,” and then added, “They shot his wig. Sad.”
Rutgers spokeswoman Megan Schumann said Budd is scheduled to teach this fall. She did not give any additional details about the university’s review of Budd and her social media comments, saying the university doesn’t comment on confidential personnel matters.
Budd did not immediately respond to a request to comment.
Rutgers faculty union officials said they were not notified by Rutgers about the situation and had no further comment.
Todd Wolfson, president of the Rutgers AAUP-AFT faculty union, previously said the controversy over the professor’s comment was overblown.
“At a broader level, it has to be said: this is another fabricated controversy cooked up by some right-wing Republicans who would never say anything about the stomach-turning things Donald Trump or J.D. Vance tweet all the time — including calling our members, who do the teaching and research at Rutgers, ‘the enemy,’” he said.
After Budd’s social media account drew attention in July, Rutgers released a statement saying the school condemns calls for violence and remains committed to civil discourse. “The university will be communicating the importance of civility in these challenging times,” the statement said.

Gee, you too could send your kid to Rutgers to study writing under Professor Tracy Budd in the English Department, she of “Let’s hope today’s events inspire others,” and then added, “They shot his wig. Sad.” See how well she writes! If your kid prefers anthropology, maybe Professor Todd Wolfson, current president of the AAUP faculty organization, could be of service. Wolfson, an educated and sophistic academic of course, recently called JD Vance a fascist and believes poor Tracy Budd’s comments about Trump not being dead were “blown out of proportion.” Yeah, there go those silly conservatives, making all kinds of assumptions, when all Rutgers faculty wants is a better world! One assassination at a time.
Now you know how to get an A in required English Composition if you get Tracy Budd as your instructor.
“the stomach-turning things Donald Trump or J.D. Vance tweet all the time — including calling our members, who do the teaching and research at Rutgers, ‘the enemy,’” he said.
You encouraged people to kill them, you fucking moron.
Did you expect an invitation to dinner and a movie?
Why would any Jewish student want to study at Rutgers? They have openly anti-Semitic professors and for years, have tolerated harassment of Jewish students.
And to you donors who give millions to institutions like this-Shame on you!
Because they want a diploma with a Known Brand Name on it. You have that, or no oak-panel Armani suit firm will give your resume even a cursory glance before chucking it straight into the waste basket.
So Todd Wolfson, presumably Jewish, is defending this insane woman. Wait till she says that what Hamas did to Jewish men, women and children should inspire others. The bottom line is that evil is evil and defending it is reprehensible.
