Professor resigns after inflammatory tweets about protests

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A professor has reversed himself again and resigned from a university in Utah after posting inflammatory tweets about nationwide protests concerning race and police use of force. Weber State University officials said Tuesday that criminal justice professor Scott Senjo has now permanently resigned. He had previously stepped down in early June but changed his mind and withdrew that resignation shortly after. The university had condemned Senjo’s tweets as “abhorrent.” Senjo tweeted support for damage to CNN headquarters in late May. He also commented on a post about a police car driving into protesters, saying he would have driven it differently.
