Talking Points Memo
By Sara Jerde Published December 17, 2015, 11:22 AM EST
Florida Atlantic University recommended Wednesday that a professor who insists the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre never happened be terminated after the parents of one of the victims accused him of harassment, according to a CBS affiliate.
James Tracy, an associate professor in FAU's School of Communication & Multimedia Studies, has 10 days to appeal the university's decision, according to WFOR's report.
The termination notice came almost a week after the parents of Noah Pozner, a 6 year-old who was killed in the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, published an op-ed in the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel that accused Tracy of harassing them for proof that their son was once alive.

The university had previously reprimanded Tracy in 2013 for posting on his personal blog that the Sandy Hook shooting was likely staged. The university said at the time that Tracy didn't make it clear enough that he was not speaking on the college's behalf, according to the Sun Sentinel.

In the post, Tracy also advertised his book "Nobody Died At Sandy Hook," which outlines his conspiracy theories. He said it was released online for free after Amazon refused to sell it.
