Michael Korenberg was targeted for cancellation by pro-antifa campus activist group, UBC Students Against Bigotry, after he liked tweets from Ann Coulter, Charlie Kirk and Dinesh D'Souza - as well as tweets wishing President Trump a happy birthday, according to True North.

One of the 'liked' tweets was critical of Black Lives Matter - drawing condemnation from far-left media outlets, as well as UBC staff such as professor Annette Henry, who said Korenberg's Twitter activity has reflected a "white supremacist capitalist [hetero]patriarchy" worldview, adding that "It's unfortunate that we have people in such positions of authority at UBC."

According to Henry, UBC 'still keeps hiring white people where we have the opportunity not to.'

UBS professor Jennifer Berdahl called on Korenberg to resign.

And now, he has, accompanied by a lengthy apology.

"Over the past two weeks some articles/statements that I 'liked' on Twitter supported regressive voices and took aim at thousands of brave individuals who are standing up against racism, discrimination and hatred," wrote Korenberg in a Saturday tweet containing a typed statement.
