Jamie R. Riley, assistant vice president and dean of students at the University of Alabama, resigned on Thursday, the day after Breitbart, a right-wing news outlet, published an article quoting some of his old tweets.
In the three tweets noted by the Breitbart article, Riley, who is black, wrote that the American flag “represents a systemic history of racism for my people” and that white people cannot experience racism. The most recent of the tweets was posted in October 2017. He began working at Alabama last February.
