I am posting this in I/P because Israel is the cause of the flap.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — A leading academic group voted Saturday to censure the University of Illinois' flagship campus over its decision not to hire a professor following his anti-Israel Twitter messages, a vote the university's chancellor said will have repercussions and is being taken seriously.
The vote hinged on the principle of academic freedom, said Anita Levy, an association staff member involved with the group's investigation of the matter. A report by the group described Salaita's tweets as expressions of "outrage in strong language over the war in Gaza."
The university rescinded Salaita's job offer after some donors complained his tweets were anti-Semitic. He has since sued the school. The censure vote came one day after a judge ordered the university to turn over thousands of pages of documents sought by Salaita.
In August, just before school was set to begin again and after Salaita had received his class assignments, Wise told Salaita he wouldn't get the job after all. She later said the university was concerned about the "abusive nature" of his messages.

OUTSTANDING POST! Isn't it just disgusting how a man of such hatred got to be a professor at a major state university? Has anyone ever known of a Jewish professor who stooped so low preaching hate against Muslims? I hope the University of Illinois not only dismisses the evil bastard but convicts him with jail time as well.
Is it any wonder why Tinmore & his ilk love this asshole?
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PROFESSOR- SPREADING HATE IN ACADEMIA
The global campaign to demonize and delegitimize
Israel continues unabated in diplomatic, Church and
academic circles. Their real goal is to weaken and
isolate Israel. The campaign has not improved the life
of a single Palestinian but has succeeded in
mainstreaming hate against Israel and her supporters.
Many academics use their hallowed positions to pillory Israel and label the Jewish state as “a
Colonialist mistake.” One instructor, Steven Salaita, an Arab American professor went beyond the
pale for the University of Illinois at Champaign. Salaita has blamed Jews for anti-Semitism and has
called for the destruction of Israel as well as the “de-colonization of America.”
Originally hired to teach American Indian Studies, the school cancelled his contract after reading
Salaita’s rants like these he made on social media. “At this point if Netanyahu appeared with a
necklace made from the teeth of Palestinian children, would anybody be surprised?” About American
Jewish Youth, Salaita declared, “Every little Jewish boy and girl can grow up to be the leader of a
murderous colonial regime.”
On the last point, Israel is a colonial (self described from the beginning) regime, and the regime did kill upwards of 1,500 civilians of which 500 or so were children just last summer.
Any TERRORIST can be called a "citizen" to evoke emotions.
