Carnegie Mellon University has reacted to the social media posts by one of its professors, Dr Uju Anya on Queen Elizabeth II.
Lifestyle Nigeria reports that the professor in a tweet on Thursda, wished the Queen an “excruciating” death.
Dr Anya’s comment follows the announcement made that the Queen was placed under medical supervision as Doctors raised concerns about her health.
“I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating,” the professor wrote before the Queen was declared dead.
Although, Twitter took down the tweet for violating its coverage, the Professor’s comment has continued to receive worldwide condemnation.
Dr Anya’s employer, Carnegie Mellon – the distinguished Pennsylvania college the place she is an affiliate professor of second language acquisition – also issued a press release on Thursday to condemn her comment.
“We do not condone the offensive and objectionable messages posted by Uku Anya today on her personal social media account,” the college tweeted.
