HAYS, Kan. (KAKE) — Fort Hays State University says a review is underway after a social media post from a faculty member regarding race and the murder of Charlie Kirk surfaced over the weekend.
Conservative X account Libs of TikTok tagged the university in a post on the platform on Sunday evening. The post, a series of screenshots, shows a Facebook post on the murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
“Me thinks the word ‘karma’ is appropriate. Sad all the way around,” the Facebook account, NuNu LA Chance, posted on September 10, the day of the fatal shooting.
Libs of TikTok, founded by Chaya Raichik, alleges the LA Chance account belongs to Dr. Nuchelle Chance, a psychology professor at Fort Hays.
While the University did not explicitly say the account belonged to Chance, it said, “Fort Hays State University is aware of a social media post on a Libs of TikTok social media page attributing social media statements relating to race and violence to one of our faculty members.”
“Individuals who post commentaries to their personal social media accounts do not speak for the University, nor does their commentary reflect the views or values of this university,” the university said in a statement on Monday.
Libs of TikTok also found a screenshot of the Facebook page saying, “But when we tell y’all that statistically… White American men are the most dangerous animals on the planet we’re wrong. Let’s not be hasty they say.”
The university said,” We are reviewing this situation as a confidential personnel matter and ask for your patience as we address it with the seriousness it warrants.”
