    It sounds like he technically resigned. I'm not sure if I read that as MSU President Samuel Stanley giving Hsu an opportunity to save face, or Stanley being a coward.

> Hsu sparked outrage again when he cited a 2019 study in a blog post concluding, "there is no widespread racial bias in police shootings." (from link 1)

  "no racial bias in police shootings" is something I've seen from a few studies. It all depends on how you define "racial bias", of course. (In other words, in a given situation police shootings seem to be even across races - but those situations are less common for non-hispanic whites and far less common for asians than for african americans)
