DAVIS -- The posts were shared on 'X', formerly known as Twitter, within the last two weeks. In the posts, the faculty member, who has not been identified by name or position by UC Davis, shared their thoughts on the conflict in the Middle East. In one post, the faculty member wrote threats to 'zionist journalists' who 'have houses with address, kids in school' and 'they should fear us more,' ending the post with emojis of a knife, an axe, and blood.
When we receive a complaint that a faculty member has engaged in conduct that may violate the Faculty Code of Conduct, we review the matter in accordance with our established policies and procedures for handling faculty discipline.
