Thomas Jefferson University president Mark Tykocinski resigned as school president this week after liking tweets on Twitter that went against acceptable thought at the university.
Tykocinski will continue to serve as professor on the campus.
The 70-year-old university president made the mistake of liking tweets critical of coronavirus vaccines, gender-affirmation surgery and college diversity, equity and inclusion offices.
These thoughts are not acceptable at the Thomas Jefferson University.
The discrimination at the school made national news.
