Uju Anya Faces Backlash Over Posts Marking Charlie Kirk’s Death Anniversary
Carnegie Mellon University professor Uju Anya has drawn criticism online over posts marking the anniversary of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk’s death. Screenshots circulating online show Anya using mocking language about Kirk’s death. After one user challenged her posts, she reportedly replied by telling him to die first so she could celebrate his death as well. The exchange drew wider attention after Elon Musk highlighted her position at Carnegie Mellon. The university later said Anya was on voluntary leave and that it did not endorse her social-media posts. The user involved in the exchange says he is consulting a lawyer. The controversy has also revived discussion around Anya’s past social-media disputes involving the British monarchy, Igbo culture and her public comments on other prominent figures.
