Conduct warnings
Resigned under pressure over online conduct (2022)

Georgetown University Law Center — The same January 2022 tweets about Biden's Supreme Court pick. Shapiro resigned after the investigation cleared him on a jurisdictional technicality. Outcome: He said he resigned rather than face a 'slow-motion firing' if he caused further controversy. He wrote about it in the Wall Street Journal and later spoke to Fox News. The resignation was voluntary but followed the investigation and suspension, so it is only partly attributable to his posts. (2022-06)

Suspended over online conduct (overturned) (2022)

Georgetown University Law Center — Shapiro tweeted that Biden should pick Sri Srinivasan as the 'objectively best pick' for the Supreme Court, and that otherwise Biden would get a 'lesser black woman'. He deleted the tweets and apologised. Outcome: Georgetown put him on administrative leave during an investigation of about 122 days. It reinstated him in June 2022 because he had not formally started the job when he tweeted, so the tweets were outside its jurisdiction. It required him to complete training on implicit bias and non-discrimination. He resigned days later. (2022-01)
