(PORTLAND, Me) – WGAN Retired professor Dr. Susan Feiner has been banned from teaching at USM…or any other U-Maine system campus.

Feiner offered a pop-up course to students willing to take a bus to Washington to protest the Kavanaugh nomination.

USM officials say Feiner acted on her own without going through proper channels.

USM President Glenn Cummings apologized for Feiner’s actions and said she was trying to promote her personal political agenda.
