A professor from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, linked to an anti-fascist gun group, has been reinstated after being placed on administrative leave earlier in the week amid concerns about his potential endorsement of political violence.

“The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has conducted a comprehensive threat assessment of Teaching Associate Professor Dwayne Dixon following recent reports and concerns that he supports political violence,” stated Vice Chancellor for Communications and Marketing Dean Stoyer on Friday.

Upon completion of the investigation, school officials indicated they “found no grounds to assert that he poses a threat to University students, staff, and faculty, nor that he has engaged in any conduct that breaches University policy.”

He also faced a gun crime charge stemming from his connection to an anti-KKK protest in nearby Durham, North Carolina, at which the KKK was present. 

Both Dixon and Redneck Revolt faced a lawsuit from the city of Charlottesville after the Unite the Right rally, with allegations that the organization breached anti-paramilitary law.

On Wednesday, Redneck Revolt announced on its website that it disbanded in 2019. A page detailing Dixon’s activism under a section titled “Analysis” was also removed, but remains archived.

According to his biography page, Dixon is a teaching associate professor of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the university and is set to immediately resume his faculty duties.

“The University continues to reaffirm its commitment to rigorous debate, respectful engagement, and open dialogue in support of free speech, while fulfilling our responsibility to protect the physical safety of the Carolina community,” Stoyer added.
