”Let’s hope today’s events inspire others,” Budd said in one post.

”They shot his wig. Sad,” Budd wrote in another.

As a professor in the writing program, Budd can't claim to have been misinterpreted. Will Rutgers do anything to punish Budd? That's a tricky question; she apparently has tenure, and the value of academic freedom is considerable. But cheering on an assassination attempt is not exactly an academic exercise, either.
