The university states that it is now proceeding to terminate her employment as an investigation into her conduct commences.
In a post shared with WAFB, Carmena allegedly said, “I will 1000% wish death on people like him. He is the epitome of evil, and I have no compassion, not even a minute ounce of it for people like him who go around spewing hate the way he does.”
