A federal lawmaker representing part of Berks County is calling for action over a professor's alleged social media posts.

U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser on Thursday sent a letter to Interim President J. Larry Jameson of the University of Pennsylvania, raising serious concerns about the recent actions of Assistant Professor Julia Alekseyeva, a faculty member in UPenn’s English Department. 

U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser, in a letter to Interim Penn president J. Larry Jameson, called for Alekseyeva to be fired. 

A Pennsylvania congressman fired off a scathing letter overnight to the University of Pennsylvania’s president demanding the firing of a left-wing professor whose social media posts lauded Luigi Mangione, the suspect accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Houlahan and Republican U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser (PA-09), who both represent Berks County, are pushing for increased public awareness.
