ATLANTA — Emory University has terminated a faculty member following a social media post made in the wake of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The dean of Emory's School of Medicine, Sandra L. Wong, shared news of the termination in a message to the school community.

The terminated faculty member was not identified. It's also not clear what was contained in the post or where it was shared.

Wong's message Thursday said they were "aware of a recent social media post by a School of Medicine non-clinical faculty member that caused concern within our community."

"That individual has been terminated," Wong's message said.

Emory earlier this week said in a statement it was "looking into" the faculty member after the post raised concerns.
