The University of Arizona is putting some distance, allegedly, between itself and a new hire in their gender studies department, per the College Fix:

But the university seems eager to distance itself from Florentin Felix Morin, despite its own news release welcoming him to Tucson earlier this year.

Morin, a PhD student at the Université Paris 8, published his paper in the peer-reviewed “theoretical humanities” journal Angelaki for its recent issue on the link between transgender identities and animal studies.

The Department of Gender and Women’s Studies gave Morin a warm welcome as a “visiting scholar” in January, according to its news page.
