Professor Mark Crispin Miller was recently cleared of accusations that he failed to follow the New York University (NYU) Faculty Handbook.
A student and a group of 25 of his colleagues had demanded that Miller be fired for encouraging them to research both sides of the scientific debate on the efficacy of mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Masks are mandated in schools and public places by New York state, which follows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines that anyone aged 2 or older who isn’t fully vaccinated wear a mask in indoor public spaces.
