A Philadelphia professor whose controversial comments on Twitter have drawn death threats that led his university to suspend him, announced Thursday, Dec. 28, that he is resigning.

George Ciccariello-Maher, 38, a tenured professor of political science and global studies at Drexel University, wrote on Twitter that he was resigning because a storm of threats against him and his family over the past year have made his situation “unsustainable.”
