An outspoken former Portland State professor - who quit last year citing the university's 'wokeism' - said he was confronted by students and faculty who told him to 'f**k off' because his questions 'inflicted trauma.' 

Peter Boghossian was a full-time assistant professor of philosophy at Portland State University for 10 years until his scathing public resignation letter in September, in which he called it a 'social justice factory' that drives 'intolerance of divergent beliefs.' 

But Boghossian's chapter with the university seems far from over. On Tuesday, he claimed to have been confronted by students and faculty who allegedly told him to 'f*** off.'  

'Today, faculty and students in Portland State University's sociology department confronted me. They claimed that I was inflicting trauma on people by asking questions,' Boghossian wrote in a tweet. 

'...some of these people were telling me to f*** off.'

It is unclear what led to the confrontation or what kind of questions Boghossian was asking. DailyMail.com has reached out to Boghossian.

Meanwhile, the university denied having knowledge of the exchange in the tweet. 

'I can say that Portland State respects and supports free speech and the robust debate of ideas as the underpinning of a diverse education at a public university,' a PSU spokesperson told DailyMail.com.
