UAlberta law professor placed on non-disciplinary leave after online comments

A University of Alberta law professor has been placed on non-disciplinary leave after making online comments after the death of Charlie Kirk, reports Vancouver Sun. Law students were reportedly notified by an email from the Faculty of Law dean about the professor being placed on leave. In the email, the faculty dean noted that there have “also been threats targeting faculty, staff and student groups” and that the university is seeking to ensure that “those who are the targets of online threats and vitriol” stay safe. The professor will be on leave while the university completes a review.
