Re:Uber C.E.O. To Leave Trump Advisory Council After Criticism on Thursday February 02, 2017 @05:30PM (#13555493)
Honestly this is a bit of a bummer.

For those who don't want to read the article, "What happened when I challenged the PC campus culture at NYU" really means "What happened when I tweeted a bunch of right-wing garbage and associated it with my employer, by name":

The answer is that you're asked to take a leave of absence because you're embarrassing everyone.

Shed no tears though, I'm sure Professor Edgelord will do just fine in the conservative talk circuit for years to come.
