A professor from Drexel University in Philadelphia is in hot water after writing on twitter that all he wanted for Christmas was “white genocide.”

Fox News reports Associate Professor George Ciccariello-Maher’s tweet quickly went viral after many conservative websites and individuals spoke out against it.

Drexel issued a statement on Christmas day said the professor’s comments were “utterly reprehensible, deeply disturbing, and do not in any way reflect the values of the university.”

A bio on Drexel’s website says that Ciccariello-Maher is, “an expert and frequent media commentator on social movements, particularly in Latin America.”

It was not immediately clear what actions would be taken against the professor by the university.
