Columbia University faces backlash over censure of pro-Palestine teacher
The censure of pro-Palestine Professor Mohamed Abdou by Columbia University has sparked outrage.
Three academics, including a visiting professor, have faced repercussions for defending Palestinian rights.
Administrators, supported by politicians, have targeted dissenting voices.
Tensions at the New York-based Ivy league college escalated last week as administrators called in police to tear down a student-organized “anti-war and anti-genocide” encampment.
The crackdown drew widespread condemnation from students and activists.
