They Got Him: The Harald Uhlig Saga Continues

This is a follow-up to my post, Top University of Chicago Economist Comes Under Vicious Attack; Paul Krugman and Janet Yellen Join the Mob.

The Advisory Board of the Journal of Political Economy has placed Harald Uhlig on leave from his role as editor of the Journal pending a determination of the Board as to whether it would be appropriate for him to continue in that role given recent accusations of discriminatory conduct in a University classroom setting.

This is apparently the accusation they are referring to:

@haralduhlig, I sat in your class in Winter 2014:
(1) You talked about scheduling a class on MLK Day
(2) You made fun of Dr. King and people honoring him
(3) You sarcastically asked me in front of everyone whether I was offended
Here is the receipt: @JustinWolfers @and_joy_
