@matthew_d_green Is it normal for a university to memory hole a former professor's pages? I thought the norm was to keep scholarship present, but possibly mark it as an inactive page.

@adamshostack @matthew_d_green This is the part that's especially concerning. We don't know what the arrest was about (and whether it was even for a crime or an immigration matter), but it's hard to imagine what reason there could be for the university to scrub its website as if he never worked there.

Either the government put pressure on them or the university was involved in whatever it was about.

@adamshostack @matthew_d_green And while there's a process for removing tenured faculty, it takes more than an afternoon to do it.

@mattblaze @adamshostack @matthew_d_green

looking through his publications... he's so... *normal* academia soc dude.

though normal in sec looks like crazy spy movie to people who don't know anything about it.

if this keeps going we'll need a disappeared database.

@quinn @mattblaze @adamshostack @matthew_d_green We do need a disappeared database.

@bituur_esztreym Thank you! @quinn @mattblaze @adamshostack @matthew_d_green
