Carnegie Mellon Reviews Professor's Posts on Charlie Kirk's 2025 Killing as Anya Remains on Leave

Summary
Carnegie Mellon said it is closely reviewing professor Uju Anya’s recent social media posts about Charlie Kirk’s death, calling them hostile, threatening and falsely suggestive of university endorsement.
Anya posted around the Sept. 10 anniversary of Kirk’s 2025 assassination, invoking “Kirkmas” and “Kirk Mubarak”; another post said, “Die first, white man,” before her X account appeared to be deleted.
The university said Anya, an associate professor, was already on voluntary professional leave and is not teaching on campus during the current academic year.
The review comes as attention around Kirk’s killing resurfaced with a new $100,000 statue unveiling and renewed public focus on the first anniversary of the Turning Point USA founder’s assassination.
