BLOOMINGTON -- Indiana University is responding to controversial tweets made by a professor.

The Bloomington campus says they can't fire Professor Eric Rasmusen, who teaches Business Economics and Public Policy. That's because the posts were made from his personal account as a private citizen.

Still, the dean of the Kelley School condemned what he called "sexist, racist, and homophobic views" presented in the tweets.
