INDIANAPOLIS The ACLU of Indiana filed a federal lawsuit against a state university president, alleging he unconstitutionally fired an employee over her private social media post.

The lawsuit was filed Sunday against Ball State University President Geoffrey Mearns for terminating Suzanne Swierc, who worked as Director of Health Promotion and Advocacy from August 2023 until her firing on September 17.

According to the complaint, Swierc posted on her private Facebook account on September 10 that "Charlie Kirk's death is a reflection of the violence, fear, and hatred he sowed." She emphasized, "it does not excuse his death."
