A professor at St. Bonaventure University in New York is facing backlash after appearing to celebrate the death of Senator Lindsey Graham in a social media post. The post, which has since been deleted, used inflammatory language and ended with the phrase ‘Rest in Hell.’ The professor, Ibrahim Zabad, later apologized for the post, saying his words were ‘inappropriate and disrespectful’ and failed to show compassion during a time of loss and grief.
Apology and University Response
A spokesperson for St. Bonaventure University stated that the university is aware of the post and subsequent apology by Dr. Zabad, and that his post about Senator Graham was clearly not aligned with the university’s mission and values. The university will be addressing the situation with Dr. Zabad to ensure that Franciscan values are maintained and lived out at St. Bonaventure.
