College professor resigns after video shows him screaming angrily into student's face

A Tennessee State University professor has resigned after video circulated on social media showing him standing over a student and angrily screaming into his face, WSMV reports.

“What is your name? Out! Get out! You have failed this course whatever your name is," now-former TSU professor Robert Evins Pickard screams at the student in the video.

“I deeply regret what happened in class. I lost my temper and did something I should never have done,” now-former TSU professor Robert Evins Pickard said in a statement.

“I have been under pressure lately, and I have been frustrated with students who pay attention to their cellphones and laptops, then wonder why they get low grades," his statement continued. "But that does not excuse my behavior. I apologized to the students and offered my resignation. I am now retired, as I had planned anyway. Please respect my privacy, it is over now."

The student who shared the video says this isn't the first time Pickard has lashed out at students.
