The tweet read, “We do not condone the offensive and objectionable messages posted by Uju Anya today on her personal social media account. Freedom of expression is core to the mission of higher education.

 

“However, the views she shared absolutely do not represent the values of the institution, nor the standards of discourse we seek to foster.”

 

On the eve of the Queen’s demise, Uju Anya expressed her wish for the queen to have an ‘excruciating’ death.

 

Though, Twitter took down the tweets following trendings it generated.
