Then he posted a controversial tweet that led to a media circus, heckling crowds of activist students, and a four-month investigation which eventually concluded that because he wasn’t an employee when he tweeted, he wasn’t subject to university policies—but that if he said something that offended anyone in future, he’d create a “hostile educational environment” and be subject to the inquisition again.
