Thomas Jefferson University chief executive Joseph Cacchione condemned Mark Tykocinski, the president of the private research school in Philadelphia, for using his Twitter account to like posts deemed controversial by leftists, such as a tweet saying gender transition surgeries are tantamount to child mutilation.
Cacchione wrote in a Sunday email message to employees and students reviewed by The Daily Wire that Tykocinski, a veteran physician who received training at New York University, was “held to a higher standard and should have known better” than to execute his “careless use of the platform.” The message came in response to a report published last week by the Philadelphia Inquirer, which examined several months of the official’s social media history.
Attached to the email was an apology letter from Tykocinski which said that he had “unintentionally offended many” through his use of social media. “Please be assured this will be a learning experience, and I will grow as a person and professional from this misstep.”
