We demand corrective action on the scandalous firing of Palestinian-American professor, Dr. Steven Salaita


The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has just severed their contract of employment with the brilliant, ethical, and prolific Dr. Steven Salaita for his political views on Israel, effectively firing him the very month he was to take up a tenured position there. This is also an insult to the Department of American Indian Studies that was not consulted in this administrative decision.

It appears that we live in a world where students get paid to post state propaganda while professors/journalists get FIRED for exposing it in the name of truth and justice.

We demand his immediate reinstatement.

For information about this case and academic freedom generally, please go to the U.S. Campaign for the Academic & Cultural Boycott of Israel website

To:
Phyllis M. Wise, Chancellor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)
Robert Warrior, Department of American Indian Studies (UIUC) 

We demand corrective action on the scandalous firing of Palestinian-American professor, Dr. Steven Salaita

Sincerely,
[Your name]
