New York University has canceled a "Reporting on the Far Right" elective undergraduate class after just two students signed up to take the course.



NYU attracted headlines earlier this year after its decision to hire former New Yorker fact-checker Talia Lavin to teach the class.

In June 2018, Lavin resigned from the magazine after making a false accusation against ICE agent Justin Gaertner for sporting what she believed was a Nazi tattoo, which turned out to be a 'Titan 2' symbol for former Marine veteran's platoon while serving in Afghanistan.
