A University of Central Florida professor who tweeted about “Black privilege” and was fired for doing so after the death of George Floyd in 2020, has been reinstated to the school.

“If Afr. Americans as a group, had the same behavioral profile as Asian Americans (on average, performing the best academically, having the highest income, committing the lowest crime, etc.), would we still be proclaiming ‘systematic racism’ exists?,” Associate professor of psychology Dr. Charles Negy tweeted according to Fox News Digital.

Negy had taught at UCF for 22 years and had tenure for 17 years.

His tweets continued, where he said: “If Afr. Americans as a group, had the same behavioral profile as Asian Americans (on average, performing the best academically, having the highest income, committing the lowest crime, etc.), would we still be proclaiming ‘systematic racism’ exists?.”

UCF said that Negy was fired not because of his tweets, but because of student complaints that he was making a hostile working environment.

Nagy’s tweets were not “just cause” for his termination, an arbitrator reported this week, saying that the university did not give him any chance to correct his behavior.

The professor was also given his tenure and back pay.

The school says they will not fight the decision, but will stand by their decision to fire him.

“UCF stands by the actions taken following a thorough investigation that found repeated misconduct in Professor Negy’s classroom, including imposing his views about religion, sex and race,” the university said. “However, we are obligated to follow the arbitrator’s ruling.”

“I want to make a stand for free speech, academic freedom,” Negy told Fox 35. “They fired a tenured professor… me. They cut me off from my income right away which they cannot do, unless there is some justified reason.”

“This is not a church. This is not a social gathering. The purpose of a university is to make you uncomfortable and make you to think about things,” he said.
