The George Washington University website lists Pohorilak, who uses the pronouns "He/Him" in his bio, as working for the Campus Living & Residential Education department.
"The George Washington University unequivocally condemns all forms of violence," a university spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement.
"As a university with one of the most politically engaged campus communities in the country, we believe everyone is entitled to their beliefs and no one should ever be subject to violence for expressing their views. This individual employee is not authorized to speak on behalf of GW and his opinions do not reflect those of the university."

After Kirk was shot Wednesday afternoon, MSNBC's Matthew Dowd suggested it was caused by a chain reaction from his "hateful words" against various groups. Kirk, a leading conservative activist and top ally of President Donald Trump, later died at the age of 31.
Dowd was later fired from the network and an apology was issued.
Several examples have come from academia, including at the University of Mississippi where a staff member was terminated after making insensitive remarks on social media, Mississippi Today reported.
At Middle Tennessee State University, a dean was fired after saying she has "zero sympathy" for Kirk, USA Today reported.
