Professor Jose Felipe Alvergue, head of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire English Department, has been placed on administrative leave after allegedly flipping over a table set up by the university’s College Republicans.
The incident occurred Tuesday morning, a special Election Day in Wisconsin, as members of UW-Eau Claire’s College Republicans set up an informational table advocating for conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel and superintendent candidate Brittany Kinser.
“A professor came up and flipped our table in a violent attack towards us,” Tatiana Bobrowicz, the CR chapter chair, stated in a video posted to social media following the incident. “This is unacceptable.”
According to a statement issued by Interim Provost Michael Carney, administration quickly placed Alvergue on administrative leave pending a formal investigation.
