UNLV Shooter Previously Resigned from Tenured Position After Inappropriate Comment

Tony Polito, the man behind the fatal UNLV shooting, had a history of inappropriate behavior, resigning from a tenured position at East Carolina University after making a sexual comment about a student's attire.

Tony Polito, the man who fatally shot three people at the University of Nevada's Las Vegas campus, resigned from a tenured associate professor position at East Carolina University in 2017 after making an inappropriate comment about a female student's attire.
Kristin Marshburn, the student who reported the incident, claims Polito said to her that if she wore a low-cut shirt for the rest of the semester, she would get an A.
Marshburn reported the incident to the business school's dean, and Polito never returned to class after she reported him.
Polito, 67, killed three UNLV professors and wounded another on Dec. 6, and was shot to death by responding officers.
Polito had applied for multiple jobs within the Nevada higher education system but was denied each time, and was struggling financially at the time of the shooting.
