The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill professor with ties to an anti-fascist gun group has been reinstated after being placed on administrative leave earlier this week over concerns that he was voicing support for political violence. 

“The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has performed a thorough threat assessment of Teaching Associate Professor Dwayne Dixon based on recent reports and expressions of concern that he is an advocate for political violence,” Vice Chancellor for Communications and Marketing Dean Stoyer said in a statement Friday. 

Following the conclusion of the investigation, school officials said they “found no basis to conclude that he poses a threat to University students, staff and faculty, or has engaged in conduct that violates University policy.” 

He also faced a gun crime charge stemming from his connection to an anti-KKK protest in nearby Durham, North Carolina, in which the KKK was present. 

Both Dixon and Redneck Revolt were sued by the city of Charlottesville after the Unite the Right rally, with the city accusing the organization of violating anti-paramilitary law. 

On Wednesday, Redneck Revolt posted a message to its website saying that the organization disbanded in 2019. A page highlighting Dixon’s activism under a tab called “Analysis” was also removed, but has been archived.

Dixon is a teaching associate professor of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the university, according to his biography page. He is set to return to his faculty responsibilities immediately. 

“The University continues to reaffirm its commitment to rigorous debate, respectful engagement, and open dialogue in support of free speech, while fulfilling our responsibility to protect the physical safety of the Carolina community,” Stoyer added.
