Professor suspended over hit man Facebook posting

EAST STROUDSBURG, PA East Stroudsburg University sociology professor Gloria Gadsden says she was suspended Wednesday because administrators thought she was making threats.

Gadsden says she jokingly referred to looking for a discreet hit man in one post and removed another comment that said she didn't want to kill any students but "Friday was a different story."

Gadsden says officials referred to the shooting at the University of Alabama-Huntsville earlier this month during the meeting.

A university spokesman wouldn't comment on Gadsden's claims, calling it a personnel matter.

East Stroudsburg is a state university in the Pocono Mountains.
