Conservative legal scholar Ilya Shapiro, who riled law students and critics in January with Twitter messages suggesting President Joe Biden’s pledge to nominate a Black woman to the U.S. Supreme court would result in a “lesser nominee,” will not be joining Georgetown University Law Center after all.
The university's position that similar comments from Shapiro in the future would likely create a hostile environment amounted to "a huge Sword of Damocles over my head,” he wrote.
Shapiro did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Georgetown said in a statement Monday that it followed proper procedure in reviewing Shapiro's conduct. "While we protect free speech, we work to promote civil and respectful discourse," it said.
