As first reported by the Associated Press, Young was fired from his job as a development officer in the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement on March 1 “for not demonstrating significant and sustained improvement in the performance of (his) job responsibilities and failing to maintain standards of conduct suitable and acceptable to the university.”
Originally hired in 2014 and paid just under $80,000 per year for the part-time role, Young started receiving job warnings in 2017, but continued to perform poorly, failed to communicate with his supervisors, and did not show up for work.
