BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) -- A Connecticut college has fired a business professor accused of comparing education officials to Nazis by shouting in German and giving a Nazi salute for more than 10 minutes at a faculty and administrators' meeting.Housatonic Community College in Bridgeport on Thursday announced the firing of Charles Meyrick.School President Paul Broadie II said the Nov. 2 incident at Manchester Community College happened just days after the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre and ``unnerved'' many people who left the room fearing for their safety.A school investigation report said Meyrick acknowledged that he shouted ``sieg heil,'' German for ``hail victory,'' and gave a Nazi salute as a way to show the meeting's leaders that their effort to silence him was tyrannical and wrong.Messages seeking comment were left for Meyrick on Thursday.
