‘THE SCIENCE FEMME’

White Professor Quits Over Allegations He Pretended to Be Woman of Color on Twitter

The University of New Hampshire teacher posted offensive messages from an account called “The Science Femme, Woman in STEM.”

A white professor at the University of New Hampshire has resigned after a four-month investigation into claims he posed as a woman of color on Twitter. The chemistry professor, previously identified by The Daily Beast as Craig Chapman, is accused of running a Twitter account under the name “The Science Femme, Woman in STEM.” SeaCoast Media Group reports that he allegedly “cyber-stalked” some Twitter users, including former Rep. Katie Hill, and posted racist messages. The account criticized a university effort to support Black Lives Matter protests. “Here it is: I was successful in killing my dept’s woke statement on recent social unrest,” a tweet said. The school determined his behavior “was not consistent with the university’s values.”
