| Subject: About Time: The Students Called the TA a ‘Nazi.’ He Said He’s Not a White Supremacist. The University Ruled He Could Return to the Classroom. Fri Apr 19, 2019 1:56 am | |
| The University of Alabama at Birmingham graduate student put this information at the top of his curriculum vitae: “Native Born Citizen of the United States of America.”
Also highlighted: “European ancestry.”
That CV, belonging to Michael B. Williams, along with more than 1,100 posts that he has made on the Discord group-chat platform, became public in the last month. The posts strongly suggest that Williams, who teaches microbiology lab courses as a teaching assistant, is a member of the white-supremacist group Identity Evropa.
On Wednesday dozens of students at the university gathered for a rally against hate. In recent weeks students have expressed frustration not only with Williams’s views but with what some considered a muted response from university leaders.
