John C. McAdams

John Charles McAdams (October 26, 1945 – April 15, 2021)[1][2] was an American conservative and associate professor of political science at Marquette University.[3][4] McAdams taught courses on American politics and public policy, voter behavior, and the John F. Kennedy assassination; he ran a website on the assassination and published a book on the subject, JFK Assassination Logic: How to Think about Claims of Conspiracy (2011).[5] He described himself as "a debunker by temperament".[6] McAdams was suspended by Marquette in 2014 for publicly criticizing and sharing the first and last name of a graduate student teacher on his personal blog. McAdams filed suit for breach of contract and in 2018 the Wisconsin Supreme Court ordered the university to reinstate him.[7]
