The University of Central Florida (UCF) has been ordered to reinstate a psychology professor who was fired last year after writing on Twitter that “black privilege is real.”

An arbitrator’s decision stated UCF failed to show “just cause” when it fired tenured professor Charles Negy and therefore violated his union contract. To remedy this, the university must fully restore his tenure, along with compensation and benefits.
