(IU Provost Lauren) Robel, who called Rasmusen's beliefs "loathsome," provided summaries of some of Rasmusen's offending tweets, which include beliefs such as:

  • That gay men should not be permitted in academia either, because he believes they are promiscuous and unable to avoid abusing students.
  • That he believes black students are generally unqualified to attend elite institutions, and are generally inferior academically to white students.
