\n A University of North Carolina Wilmington professor notorious for posting controversial social-media comments will retire in August, the school announced Monday.<\/p>\n

Professor Mike Adams, who teaches sociology and criminalogy at the college, \u201chas a history of spewing misogynistic, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic, racist rhetoric,\u201d says one of several change.org petitions that called for his ouster.<\/p>\n

He got into hot water most recently for his tweets about the governor\u2019s quarantine restrictions on residents amid the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

Adams tweeted May 28 that universities should be allowed to stay open \u2014 while shutting down \u201cnon-essential majors. Like Women\u2019s Studies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next day, referring to Gov. Roy Cooper, Adams tweeted, \u201cThis evening I ate pizza and drank beer with six guys at a six seat table top. I almost felt like a free man who was not living in the slave state of North Carolina. Massa Cooper, let my people go!\u201d<\/p>\n

Many people found his use of the term \u201cMassa,\u201d for slave master, highly offensive, although Adams told local WECT-TV that he only was referring to the governor\u2019s repressive app<\/a>roach amid the virus.<\/p>\n

The university said in a statement on Facebook to the school community\u00a0Monday, \u201cOver the past several weeks, many of you have inquired about the status of a UNCW faculty member, Dr. Mike Adams, in light of the public attention generated by comments he made on his personal social media channels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can now share the update that after a discussion with Chancellor [Jose] Sartarelli, Dr. Adams has decided to retire from UNCW, effective August 1, 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have no further comment on this matter at this time, but we plan to share an update later this week regarding how we hope to move forward as a university community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The university previously tried to deny the controversial professor tenure in 2006 but lost the battle when he sued them.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
