If so, it must have been very recently. He's still listed on SXU's faculty roster. Profs like him are the reason I audited every last professor before selecting which section I chose for a course. When I was in doubt, I went to their offices and interviewed them. I could usually tell who they were within a couple minutes.

The following is something I just pulled up from "the Datrmuth Review" dated about Nov. 9th. I guess he's not "fired", just "relieved"! I left the second paragraph in as a good example of the elitest gobbly-gook they shovel out. :

Kirstein has been “relieved of his teaching responsibilities” for the current semester and officially reprimanded. Faculty will review his record at the university during the spring term. Some conservatives, including Stanley Kurtz of the National Review, disagree with St. Xavier’s handling of the matter:

“The best way to combat Kirstein’s outrageous statements is by making arguments and issuing condemnations, not by banning him from the classroom. True, the case against punishment is not iron-clad. Professor Kirstein’s outrageous letter did violate the standards of professionalism promulgated by the American Association of University Professors. It would be perfectly fair to take Kirstein’s actions into account in a tenure decision, and a teacher who grievously and persistently insulted his students in class could not be allowed to continue with impunity. But in a case like this, while punishment may not be categorically illegitimate, it is nonetheless best to act on the principle that the best remedy for offensive speech is more speech.”
