Retired professor melts down over TPUSA chapter approval at Fort Lewis
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A retired professor was seen calling conservatives “Nazis” after a proposal for a Turning Point US major was approved at a university in Colorado.
Former Fort Lewis College anthropology professor David Kozak was caught on camera yelling in response to the Associated Students of Fort Lewis College (ASFLC) voting to approve the TPUSA chapter at an emergency meeting on November 7. Their decision came after they previously rejected senior Jonah Flynn’s proposal to enroll the group at the university, which sparked controversy on campus.
The ASFLC’s decision to reverse its previous refusal to reject the division apparently angered Kozak; Kozak ignored the person filming and called TPUSA supporters “Nazis.” He then said, “F— Nazis.”

“Go ahead, fascists,” Kozak said. “Go ahead, Nazi lovers.”
Kozak repeatedly shouted “Come on, Nazis!” he said.
Kozak’s confrontation comes after a rough few weeks for the TPUSA chapter at the liberal arts college, located in a left-leaning district that overwhelmingly supported Democrat Kamala Harris in the last election.
A spokesperson for Fort Lewis College told Fox News Digital that Kozak has retired.
“Mr. Kozak retired from Fort Lewis College in 2022 and is no longer employed by the institution,” the spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “At Fort Lewis College, we are committed to fostering an environment built on academic excellence, freedom of expression, and civil discourse.”
Many critics took issue with Jonah Flynn’s praise of TPUSA’s political positions and its plan to launch a watchlist of Fort Lewis professors. (Fox News Digital)
