Higher education fired conspiracy theorist at UI links to Sandy Hook saga
James Tracy earned a mass communications PhD at the University of Iowa a decade before his FAU tenure ended amid viral posts calling the Sandy Hook massacre a hoax. Colleagues recall a bright, engaged student leader, while UI emeritus professors note his later extreme views contrasted with his earlier work. At FAU, he faced multiple reprimands for blog activity and paperwork lapses before a termination notice followed Sun Sentinel reporting of alleged harassment claims.
