Professors facing job losses for Free-Palestine advocacy
Many US universities are severing ties with professors supporting Palestinian liberation.
Since Israel’s war on Gaza began last October, academics across various disciplines have faced termination or suspension for free-Palestine activism.
Interviews by The Intercept with affected professors reveal a politically motivated suppression, where advocacy against Israeli policies jeopardizes their careers.
Some had been teaching in their institutions for decades, some had been newly hired.
Some taught at private universities, others public.
Solidarity among faculty members has been witnessed, yet many affected educators remain unemployed or face uncertain futures.
