Princeton Bioethics Professor Peter Singer made headlines after sharing his views on sex acts with animals. On November 8, 2023, Singer shared what he called a “thought-provoking article” titled “<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mOOHWhgfENSAz-Bl7kQb9fPHHzRqh9Dm/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zoophilia Is Morally Permissible</a>.” Singer said that “[the article] challenges one of society's strongest taboos and argues for the moral permissibility of some forms of sexual contact between humans and animals.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Another thought-provoking article is "Zoophilia Is Morally Permissible" by Fira Bensto (pseudonym), which is just out in the current issue of <a href="https://twitter.com/JConIdeas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JConIdeas</a>.
This piece challenges one of society's strongest taboos and argues for the moral permissibility of some forms of sexual… <a href="https://t.co/32fIaJEJ1J">pic.twitter.com/32fIaJEJ1J</a>

— Peter Singer (@PeterSinger) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSinger/status/1722440246972018857?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 9, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The article Singer referred to states that “[s]ex with animals is a powerful social taboo that exposes its practitioners to utmost indignation and stigma.” The piece also claims, “Many people who have sex with animals do not strictly speaking have a zoophilic orientation, but use animals as surrogates for human sex partners.”
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/11/11/lifestyle/princeton-professor-ignites-outrage-by-calling-journal-article-about-sex-with-animals-thought-provoking-someone-check-his-hard-drive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that Singer followed up his original post with an essay on Facebook where he clarified:
“I didn’t write the article on the permissibility of zoophilia [but] I am a co-editor for that journal. The fact that we judge an article worthy of publication does not indicate that I or my co-editors agree with the views contained in it…The Journal of Conversational Ideas is free and open access for everyone to read…
“Now imagine that you are an animal living with a person who cares for you and loves you in all the ways that most people love their companion animals, but in addition, this person sometimes has sexual contact with you, making sure that the contact does not hurt you, and leaving you free to move away if you don't like it…”

One commenter said Singer was “adopting the language of predator abusers, the same words used to dismiss and denigrate [rape] survivors.”

In a <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/peter-singer-compares-abortion-to-turning-off-a-computer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review article</a> titled, “Peter Singer Compares Abortion to Turning Off a Computer,” the author writes, “To understand Singer’s perspective: He doesn’t believe that human life has moral value simply because he or she is human. Rather, value has to be earned, primarily be being self-aware or able to value life [sic]. He argues that self-aware entities are ‘persons’ —including some animals.”

National Review continued, “[Singer] also believes that non-self-aware beings—including human infants, unborn babies, and people who have serious dementia, persistent unconsciousness or minimal consciousness—are not persons. Non-persons, in his view, have lower moral value than persons and can be killed or used instrumentally for the benefit of persons…”

Peter Singer is a Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. As a philosopher and self-identified “<a href="https://longtermrisk.org/hedonistic-vs-preference-utilitarianism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hedonistic utilitarian</a>,” Dr. Singer holds a number of controversial views on human and animal ethics. These include stances on abortion, euthanasia, and infanticide.

More than an advocate for abortion, Dr. Singer claims there is nothing inherently immoral about killing a child.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB5IZXGmk08&amp;feature=emb_title" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During a debate at Harvard University</a>, Dr. Singer recognized that fetuses in the womb are living human beings. However, he added people—including those not yet born—have varying degrees of value based on whether or not they feel pain.

He further claimed that only people who are fully conscious or feel pain have a right to their own lives. Abortion, he argued, cannot be considered immoral. Dr. Singer acknowledges that his stance presents a “challenging” problem regarding recently-born children.
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DB5IZXGmk08" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

Dr. Singer has also justified infanticide for babies who are disabled or have serious health conditions. In the 1979 edition of Practical Ethics, he wrote: “<a href="https://archive.org/details/practicalethics0000sing/page/n3/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Killing a defective infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Sometimes it is not wrong at all</a>.”

Many have accused <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/peter-singer-eugenicist-wesley-j-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Singer of being sympathetic to eugenics</a> due to his apparent empathy towards parents who <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/peter-singer-eugenicist-wesley-j-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">select particular genes in human fetuses for more desirable children</a>.

During a 2015 radio interview, Dr. Singer argued that it was “reasonable” <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/ethics-professor-kill-severely-disabled-infants-under-obamacare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to euthanize disabled infants to prevent higher premiums under Obamacare</a>. In a Q&amp;A hosted on his personal website, Dr. Singer <a href="https://petersinger.info/faq/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims that newborns are not persons as they have “no sense of the future</a>.”

“[Killing] a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living.”

Dr. Singer added that although killing an infant is a “terrible thing to do,” parents should have the freedom to end the life of their newborn. He added that the presiding doctor would then take steps to “swiftly and humanely” end the child’s life.

According to his biography, Dr. Singer <a href="https://uchv.princeton.edu/people/peter-singer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has been teaching at Princeton since 1999</a>. He authored other books on utilitarianism, veganism, and animal liberation.

According to her University biography, Dr. Taylor is a scholar of racial inequity in public policymaking, and writes “extensively” about race, politics, and “radical activism.”

As a Professor and political commentator, Dr. Taylor offers her opinion across a wide variety of social media platforms and media outlets. She is known to condemn capitalism, the United States, and Israel while lauding socialism and the Soviet Union.

On her personal <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>, Dr. Taylor smears Israel as a racial, apartheid state that actively commits genocide against Arabs in the Middle East. In one tweet, she alleges that Israel is attempting to “annihilate” Palestine:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The consequence of apartheid is not separation, it’s annihilation. End the occupation, free Palestine <a href="https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq</a>
— Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (@KeeangaYamahtta) <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta/status/1392287946653503490?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 12, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In another post, she flagrantly alleges that Israel is engaged in the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Gaza, despite the <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/methodist-staffer-demonizes-israel-reveals-ignorance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resident Arab population quadrupling since 1948</a>,
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
What we are witnessing is not the “eviction” of Palestinians from their homes. This is ethnic cleansing. This is the most basic expression of settler colonialism. This is the illegal and immoral expulsion of Palestinians with the expectation they are “accepted” elsewhere. <a href="https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8</a>
— Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (@KeeangaYamahtta) <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta/status/1392286002950164480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 12, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Dr. Taylor likewise alleges the United States is a brutally racist and oppressive society. In an article for the Marxist publication, Jacobin,<a href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/05/reparations-slavery-racism-united-states-foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> she depicts racism as foundational to the United States</a>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1846" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-19T122121.004-e1637349803441-1024x363.png" alt="" width="500" height="177" />

A frequent critic of policing, which she views as systemic racism embedded in the United States, Dr. Taylor lauds the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a “liberation struggle.” With communist, vice-presidential candidate, and Black Panther Party member, <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Davis</a>, writing the forward, Dr. Taylor’s book—<a href="https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1646-from-blacklivesmatter-to-black-liberation-expanded-second-edition">From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation</a>—she praises the movement for having “awakened a new generation of activists” that will fight for “black liberation.”

BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found an organization, <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as stated on its website</a>.

“....whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.” 

BLM came to further prominence following the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/gunshots-looting-after-grand-jury-in-ferguson-case-does-not-indict-officer-in-michael-brown-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">riots in Ferguson, Missouri</a> in reaction to the acquittal of police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of robbery suspect, Michael Brown. Although later determined that Brown had attacked the officer, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BLM was instrumental in spreading the lie</a> that Brown was shot at point-blank range with his hands raised.

In an interview with the progressive news outlet, DemocracyNow, in June of 2020, Dr. Taylor praises the BLM movement’s fight against systemic racism, stating that our nation is witnessing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMOG-W_X9m8&amp;ab_channel=DemocracyNow%21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an “uprising” against “racial terrorism” being inflicted upon black Americans by police officers</a>.

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

&nbsp;

In separate Twitter posts, Dr. Taylor has condemned capitalism as being inherently exploitative while promoting the merits of socialism.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
There is no good US capitalism. The so called golden age of capitalism relied on shackling women to the home, bolting LGBT people in the closet, restricting immigration to Europeans, &amp; segregating Black people into resource starved enclaves. Capitalism has always been the problem

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Dr. Taylor’s positive view on socialism extends to the embrace of communist dictatorships. While attending the “This is Socialism!” conference in 2017, Dr. Taylor delivered a speech that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndSASqMLYMg&amp;ab_channel=WeAreManyMedia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praised the Russian Revolution</a> for its inspiration towards American communists and "revolution" against capitalism.

&nbsp;

Despite her praise, the Bolshevik Revolution and the resulting formation of the Soviet Union cost millions of lives. Upon overthrowing the Russian government in October 1917, Vladimir Lenin immediately set up <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lenin%27s+red+terror&amp;atb=v263-1&amp;ia=web" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a series of concentration camps for political prisoners and led the Soviet secret police in a brutal crackdown</a> known as the “Red Terror.” As many as one million people perished before the carnage ended with the cessation of the Russian Civil War in 1921. Over the course of the USSR's existence, as <a href="https://fee.org/articles/the-staggering-toll-of-the-russian-revolution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many as 60 million people perished under Soviet rule</a>.

In recognition of her work, Dr. Taylor was <a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/news/2021-macarthur-fellow-keeanga-yamahtta-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">awarded a MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Award</a> in 2021.

Best is a <a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/people/wallace-d-best" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hughes-Rogers Professor in the Department of African American Studies and the Department of Religion</a> at Princeton University.

Best was featured in a 2020 Princeton press release titled <a href="https://www.princeton.edu/news/2020/09/30/wallace-best-leads-program-gender-and-sexuality-studies-dynamic-new-era" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wallace Best leads the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies into a dynamic new era</a>. In the article, Best responds to questions regarding his experience with feminine studies. When asked, “What is the value of studying gender and sexuality studies in the current era in America?,” Best said:
“It’s interdisciplinary in that it’s connected to more historically formal disciplines like sociology, political science and religion, but draws each in robust and engaging ways. I think about what’s happening with the Black Lives Matter movement, for example. Some of that activist work is born from the scholarship within the intellectual orbit — scholars who have centered issues of gender and sexuality in its inextricable connection to race, class, location and ethnicity.” 
He continued,
“So, when I see those protests, I feel quite proud that some of what the leaders say is born from the discourses of feminism, Black feminism, queer studies, and from gender and sexuality studies. So, I would say this is one of the most exciting times to be involved in this field.”
Best also holds a Ph.D. in Religion. His areas of research and teaching include African American religious history, religion and literature, Pentecostalism, and Womanist theology. One course Best teaches, <a href="https://religion.princeton.edu/courses/spring-2022/black-women-and-spiritual-narrative" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Black Women and Spiritual Narrative</a>,” focuses on “the hypothesis that religious metaphor and symbolism have figured prominently in Black women’s writing across literary genres.” He’s currently working on a book entitled “The Spiritual Capital of Black America: Twentieth Century Harlem’s World of Religion and Churches.”

Anne McClintock is Princeton University’s <a href="https://gss.princeton.edu/people/anne-mcclintock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies</a>. She’s also an Affiliated Faculty for the Princeton Environmental Institute and Department of English and serves on the Executive Committee of the Program in American Studies.

McClintock’s faculty profile says her “interdisciplinary and transitional work — both scholarly and creative — explores the intersections between race, gender and sexualities; imperialism and globalization.” Her interests also include sexual and gender violence, climate chaos, and animal studies.

McClintock is the author of “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Imperial_Leather/wRwiAQAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Imperial Leather: Race, Gender and Sexuality in the Colonial Contest</a>.” The publisher notes that the book “chronicles the dangerous liaisons between gender, race and class that shaped British imperialism and its bloody dismantling.” In one chapter called The White Family of Man, she says,
“King Solomon’s Mines was [sic] intimately concerned with events in South Africa following the discovery of diamonds and then gold: specifically, the reordering of women’s sexuality and work in the African homestead and the diversion of black male labor into the mines.”
She continues, 
“The Story illuminates not only relations between the imperial metropolis and the colonies but also the refashioning of gender relations in South Africa, as a nascent capitalism penetrated the region and disrupted already contested power relations with the homesteads.”
In 2019, McClintock was among several Princeton faculty members who participated in a campus strike. <a href="https://paw.princeton.edu/article/princeton-students-faculty-join-community-climate-strike" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princeton Alumni Weekly</a> listed her as an event speaker in a protest to “demand climate justice.” That same year, she was also featured in The Nation’s article titled “<a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/princeton-students-are-sitting-in-for-title-ix-reform/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princeton Students are Sitting in for Title IX Reform</a>.” This protest was organized after “believe all women” posters appeared in campus bathrooms and “Title IX protects rapists” was graffitied on a walking path.

Ruha Benjamin serves as the <a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/people/ruha-benjamin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Director of Graduate Affairs and a Professor for the Department of African American Studies</a> at Princeton University. Her university profile says she “specializes in the interdisciplinary study of science, medicine, and technology with a focus on the relationship between innovation and social equity.” 

Professor Benjamin is the author of several publications including a book titled “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Race_After_Technology/G6-hDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code</a>.” The book explores how “emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity.”

The introduction contains a section called Race as Technology where she states that technology is “designed to separate, stratify, and sanctify the many forms of injustice experienced by members of racialized groups, but one that people routinely reimagine and redeploy to other ends.”
<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-2358" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/PWL-QUOTES-12-e1665699428164-1024x407.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="254" />
In a <a href="https://youtu.be/rY8RkET3KC0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video discussing her reasons for writing</a> “Race After Technology,” Benjamin gave an example of how technology is racist. She said, “Two friends [were] using an automated soap dispenser and the soap wouldn’t come out [for] the individual with darker skin because darker skin absorbs light. So if it’s infrared technology, it’s not going to work as effectively.”

Professor Benjamin <a href="https://youtu.be/_8RrX4hjCr0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also gave a Ted Talk</a> where she used laboratory and park benches to discuss how “the idea of discriminatory design is a global phenomenon.” She also says, “I think at the heart of discriminatory design is this idea that we can create technological fixes for social crises…we create short-term responses that often get the issues out of sight, out of mind.”

Salamon was quoted stating that she aimed to “carefully study the misrecognition at the heart of the case and how gender identity was misread as sexual identity.”

“We rise in coalition with the students, scholars, and people of conscience resisting the forces currently deployed to silence, mischaracterize, and criminalize dissent on college campuses and beyond…A culture of intimidation, silencing, and punishment is now moving across the United States and around the world.”
Salamon and the FJP further declared “support for those in Palestine who have called for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS)...” The letter ends with a call for an “end to Israeli occupation and apartheid and for a free Palestine…”

Gayle Salamon is a <a href="https://english.princeton.edu/people/gayle-salamon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of English and Gender and Sexuality Studies</a> at Princeton University. Salamon’s faculty profile says her research interests include phenomenology, feminist philosophy, queer and transgender theory, contemporary Continental philosophy, and disability studies.

In Salamon’s Introductory to Gender and Sexual Studies course, she tackles questions such as: “What does it mean to be a woman or a man? Or neither?” “How do gender and sexuality, those seemingly most personal and private of attributes, emerge from networks of power and social relations?”

Her published works include two manuscripts, <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Assuming_a_Body/s-idAwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=assuming+a+body&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Assuming a Body: Transgender and Rhetorics of Materiality,”</a>  and<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Life_and_Death_of_Latisha_King/bb84DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=the+life+and+death+of+latisha+king&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> “The Life and Death of Latisha King: A Critical Phenomenology of Transphobia."</a> She also published a peer-reviewed article titled <a href="https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-Meontology-of-Masculinity%3A-Notes-on-Castration-Salamon/3784451626c47802e5acd00654de96bf5a7f8222#paper-header" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Meontology of Masculinity: Notes on Castration Elation</a>. (Meontology is the philosophical study of non-being.)

In the Meontology of Masculinity abstract, Salamon cites LGBT “scholars” and says, “Gender is a matter of behavior, but also a result of ‘the more subtle channels of posture, carriage, gaze, and manner of leaning into some (more masculine) things away from other (more feminine) things.’ [Gender scholars] call for a phenomenology of lived gender experiences, to do justice to the variety of ways in which gender can be experienced and also perceived.”

In a <a href="https://thecriticallede.com/066-interview-with-gayle-salamon-author-of-assuming-a-body/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2012 podcast interview with The Critical Lede,</a> Salamon discussed her book “Assuming a Body.” In thinking about the idea of “a man trapped in a woman’s body, and a woman trapped in a man’s body,” she said, “I keep looking for a book that was going to engage both of those things at the same time…My hope was to try to bring together some of the ideas about how we come to inhabit our bodies [and] what is the relationship between the body that everybody else in the world sees and the body that I feel myself to have.”

<a href="https://politics.princeton.edu/people/richard-falk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Richard Falk</a> is a Professor of International Law and Practice at Princeton University and a Research Associate at the Orfalea Center of Global Studies at the University of California - Santa Barbara. 

Dr. Falk has labeled Israel a racist, apartheid state that’s committing an ongoing genocide. 

The term “apartheid” refers to the legal system of <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/apartheid/Opposition-to-apartheid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racial discrimination and separation in South Africa</a> from the 1950s to 1994. He has further alleged the true identity of the 9/11 hijackers has been covered up and blamed Israel for terrorist attacks in America. 

In an article titled, “<a href="http://www.oldsite.transnational.org/Area_MiddleEast/2007/Falk_PalestineGenocide.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Slouching toward a Palestinian Holocaust</a>,” Falk compares Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians to the extermination of the Jews in the Holocaust. He claims that Israel’s actions are “morally far worse” than the genocides committed in Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur.

Further in the article, Falk defends the terrorist organization Hamas as the duly elected representative of the Palestinian people. He claims the group has renounced violence and is willing to make peace with Israel. 

During a separate interview with DemocracyNow!, Falk praised the group for its “spirit of resistance” and again claimed that Hamas seeks “peaceful, co-existence with Israel.”

An Islamist terrorist group, Hamas’s charter calls for the <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews:</a>
“Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors.” - Hamas Charter
The organization is known to <a href="https://palwatch.org/page/18217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deploy suicide bombers</a> and <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/05/prelude-to-war-palestinian-terrorists-fire-hundreds-of-rockets-at-israel-from-and-to-civilian-areas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fire rockets</a> that target civilian areas; Hamas is responsible for the deaths of <a href="https://www.fdd.org/in_the_news/2021/05/26/faq-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thousands of Israelis and at least 25 Americans</a>. 

Despite his views, Dr. Falk was chosen by the United Nations to serve as the Special Rapporteur on Palestinian Human Rights. From this position, he accused Israel of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in a report titled,”<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170316054753/https://www.unescwa.org/sites/www.unescwa.org/files/publications/files/israeli-practices-palestinian-people-apartheid-occupation-english.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Israeli Practices toward the Palestinian People and the Question of Apartheid.</a>” 

The report maligns Israel as a “racial state” that pursues “racial domination” and forcible displacement of the Palestinians. Falk recommends that Israel be investigated by the International Criminal Court and that international governments hold unilateral trials for Israeli officials. 

He urges businesses to boycott the state as part of the BDS campaign. BDS—short for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions—embraces the following three tenets as a feature of the campaign: 

- Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;

- Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and

- Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel. 

Following the publication of the document, Dr. Falk doubled down on his stance in an interview with The Forward, further calling for the <a href="https://forward.com/news/breaking-news/164986/richard-falk-calls-for-corporate-israel-boycott/#ixzz2APbfkSvl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boycott of any company</a> that does business in Israel:
“My main recommendation is that the businesses highlighted in the report – as well as the many other businesses that are profiting from the Israeli settlement enterprise – should be boycotted until they bring their operations into line with international human rights and humanitarian law and standards.” 
Elsewhere, Dr. Falk has <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/07/un-anti-israel-bias-richard-falk-pro-iran-9-11-truther-investigates-jewish-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disputed that Al-Qaeda is solely responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks</a>. In an interview on the site, Truth Jihad, he endorsed the idea the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/special-rapporteur-for-911-truth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highjackings might have been a false-flag operation</a>. He further authored a blog post, “<a href="https://richardfalk.org/2013/04/19/a-commentary-on-the-marathon-murders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Commentary on the Marathon Murders</a>,” that blamed the Boston Bombings on the foreign policy of DC and Tel Aviv. 

Due to his views, Dr. Falk was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2008/dec/19/israel-palestinian-territories-united-nations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned from Israel in 2008</a>. Although officially retired from teaching, he still holds the position of professor emeritus at Princeton.

His personal biography webpage states,

“Since his arrival in NYC, Nunez has supported and worked for different social causes, groups, and organizations for the rights of undocumented, disabled, indigenous, and LGBT+ people. He has been the Manager of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility for Dance/NYC…[and was] a core member of the Artists of Color Council at Movement Research.”

“Nunez [is the] Founder of the Accessibility Advisory Team (AAT), a group of disabled artists who advise Movement Research on accessibility and inclusion practices through its various departments and platform.”

Nunez teaches a course called “<a href="https://arts.princeton.edu/courses/introduction-to-radical-access-disability-justice-in-the-arts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Introduction to Radical Access: Disability Justice in the Arts.</a>”  The class introduction says, “Disability is front and center in a global social justice revolution…This course invites all artists, from choreographers to theater makers, filmmakers, visual artists, writers, and composers to immerse in a highly collaborative, improvisational, experimental and inclusive community to explore Disability Justice…”

<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/princeton-agender-and-neurodivergent-performer-flaunts-disability-and-anti-technique/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix reports</a>, “The ‘Intro to Radical Access’ Princeton Dance program and Program for Community Engaged Scholarship hosted [a] ‘anti-technique’ performance.” However, Catholic students were moved to pray against evil spirits after attending the controversial dance performance that featured Nunez and two other "disabled" artists.

The performance showcased the artistic abilities of the disabled, mentally ill, and trans-identifying students. According to the College Fix, Nunez said, “‘This is the first time that we get to experience in a more pragmatic, practical way what access, accessibility, and access artistry means.’”

The <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?term=1234&amp;courseid=016604" target="_blank" rel="noopener">class description</a> states that the curriculum will “examine Black LGBTQ+ representation across various media including documentaries, television, social media, and literature.”

Atchison’s profile — which can only be found on the class description page — also shows her research “includes gender-based environmental violence, environmental racism/justice, ecofeminism, feminist/queer theology…Black church history…and African American women’s literary criticism.” 

Atchison contributes to a blog called <a href="https://www.antiracistdevotional.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racist Devotional</a>. On <a href="https://www.antiracistdevotional.org/dr-gabriel-atchison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atchison’s About page</a> she describes herself as a “Black Feminist theologian” and the Congregational Development Director at Trinity Episcopal Church who researches “the role of the church in the racial identity development of Black Episcopalians.”

In her book titled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B6GQR4FJ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0?asin=B0B6GQR4FJ&amp;revisionId=ca68030b&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Are You the Unchurched?: How to Develop an Authentic Relationship with God inside or outside the Church</a>,” Atchison remarked on survey results from a Christian research institute. She said,

“Overwhelmingly, young adults who were studied named hostility toward [LGBTQ+] people as the reason they do not attend church…Based on my understanding of the research, the unchurched are Christians who are:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">College-educated</li>

 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Independently minded…”</li>
</ul>
In the opening paragraph of Atchison’s 2020 blog entry “<a href="https://gabrieljatchison.wordpress.com/2020/11/22/the-folly-of-hope/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Folly of Hope</a>,” she declared,


“Trump exposed all our fault lines due to systemic racism, class exploitation and greed. His initial election and very close re-election should act as a clarion call for us to enact sweeping and lasting social change…”

“Trump has no agenda, but his Puppet Masters do…This election exposed in a raw and unrelenting way, how many people in positions of power feel like people of color simply do not have the right to vote.”

Atchison goes on to identify herself as a “progressive [who finds] Joe Biden significantly inadequate for the task at hand.” She disagrees with any approach Biden may have to unite the nation and she believes the Democratic Party passed up “so many better qualified presidential candidates, with creative ideas…to elect a man whose platform is centrist and apolog[ist].”

<a href="https://history.princeton.edu/people/kevin-m-kruse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Kruse</a> is a Professor of History and the Director of the Center for Collaborative History at Princeton University. His faculty biography says Kruse “studies the political social, and urban/suburban history of 20th-century America.” He’s also “focused on conflicts over race, rights, and religion…[with] particular interests in segregation and the civil rights movement.”

Kruse has published several manuscripts including a 2005 book entitled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/White-Flight-Atlanta-Conservatism-Politics/dp/0691133867?asin=0691133867&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Flight: Atlanta and the Making of Modern Conservatism.</a>” Kruse introduces the novel by stating,

“This book explores the causes and course of white flight, with Atlanta serving as its vantage point…While many have assumed that white flight was little more than a literal movement of the white population, this book argues that it represented a much more important transformation in the political ideology of those involved.”

He continued,

“Because of their confrontation with the civil rights movement, white southern conservatives were forced to abandon their traditional, populist, and often starkly racist demagoguery and instead craft a new conservatism predicated on a language of rights, freedom, and individualism.”

In June 2022, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/double-standards-princeton-turns-blind-eye-to-plagiarism-from-woke-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Free Beacon</a> featured Kruse in an article titled “Double Standards: Princeton Turns Blind Eye to Plagiarism From Woke Professor.” According to the Beacon, “On December 6, the economic historian Phillip Magness emailed Princeton’s dean of faculty, Gene Jarrett, with evidence that [Kruse] plagiarized several passages of his 2015 book ‘One Nation Under God.’”

Magness cited passages of Kruse’s book as allegedly originating from a New York Times Article that was published in the mid-1960s. The Beacon said, “The university never replied to Magness’s email…and has not announced an investigation of Kruse.”

<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2022/08/kevin-kruse-plagiarism-allegations-academic-princeton-investigation-phillip-magness-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to the Daily Princetonian</a>, “Kruse expressed ‘surprise’ at the allegations and attributed the lack of citations in one instance to an inadvertent oversight.” Kruse also allegedly plagiarized a professor in his 2000 Cornell University doctoral thesis. The Princetonian quoted an email response from Kruse stating,

“‘While I indicated my intellectual debts to [author] Prof. Baylor else in the text, endnotes and bibliography of the dissertation, I was surprised to see that there was an instance in the introduction [where] I failed to do so properly.’”

<a href="https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2022/06/27/kevin-kruse-and-the-peak-political-plagiarism-scandal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Plagiarism Today said</a>, “Kruse is not your typical alleged plagiarist…Kruse has made a career for himself as an activist that corrects and criticizes right-wing talking points on history. He has over half a million followers on Twitter and a high-profile position at Princeton, both of which have given him clout.”

<a href="https://sociology.princeton.edu/people/frederick-wherry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frederick Wherry</a> is the Class of 1917 Professor of Sociology at Princeton University. In June 2022, he was named the inaugural vice dean for diversity and inclusion by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty.

Princeton’s Office of Communications <a href="https://www.princeton.edu/news/2022/06/30/wherry-appointed-vice-dean-diversity-and-inclusion-princetons-office-dean-faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published Wherry’s appointment</a> in an announcement wherein the university president said, “‘After spending time with Professor Wherry and learning more about the impact and interventions of his scholarship, [and] his profound commitment to educating our students…he struck me as the ideal colleague to augur our efforts in fulfilling the vision of the vice dean for diversity and inclusion.’”

In the same publication, Wherry said,

“‘Diversity and inclusion are critical to our core mission. When our faculty and academic professionals can participate fully in our shared endeavor, we are all able to see problems in new ways, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, making way for innovation.’”

As the Director of the <a href="https://www.dignityanddebt.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Digntiy and Debt Network</a>, Wherry leads an organization of “experts” who research concepts of “dignity, respect, and fairness” in lending and debt collection. The organization studies debt along racial and socio-economic lines and states one of its goals is “to change the conversation about credit and debt among those measuring financial access and wellness…[b]y developing novel visualizations of dignity and debt…”

Wherry is in favor of canceling student loan debt. He believes borrowers are “victims” while lenders are “perpetrators.”

Wherry participated in a panel discussion called “<a href="https://youtu.be/DP7SK_-fXA8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Native Son: Black Gay Leadership Forum</a>” to discuss ideas on wealth creation, social justice, and trauma within communities. When asked about the aspiration of building assets and stronger economic futures among black and gay people, Wherry stated,

“One of the things we have to keep in mind when building assets is that they look different for our community in part because we have a positive effect on our social networks and building assets. People help us out, sometimes we get that ‘white glove treatment’ by virtue of folks who can tell us how to most effectively take advantage of an opportunity when it arises.”

He continued,

“At the same time, we have to be realistic…our social networks also can deplete some of those traditional forms of asset building…When we are providing financial assistance to our kinfolk — when you compare us to our white counterparts, who don’t have the same kinds of requests coming in at the same level of occupation, at the same level of academic achievement — we just have less available for traditional asset-building.”

<a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/people/satyel-larson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Satyel Larson</a> is an Assistant Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. Larson’s areas of instruction are “Anthropology,” “Law and society,” “The Maghreb” and “Women, gender and sexuality.” Her faculty profile says:
“Her research and teaching lie at the intersections of law, science, technology and society; women, gender and sexuality; reproduction, health and medicine; Islam and secularism; colonialism, postcolonialism and globality; historical anthropology and epistemology; political economy; and language, discourse and narrative.”
Larson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/princeton-anti-capitalist-class-teaching-black-people-considered-handicapped-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made headlines</a> for reportedly teaching a course “that claims black people can be considered disabled due to the purported systemic racism they face.” Princeton’s Undergraduate Courses-Fall 2023 <a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/courses">schedule</a> lists Larson as the instructor for “The Healing Humanities: Decolonizing Trauma Studies from the Global South.” The course description says the course:
“Introduces the transdisciplinary field of trauma studies by examining visions of humanity…Reorienting healing as a decolonizing process enables students to re-politicize personal trauma as it intersects with global legacies of violence, war, racism, slavery, patriarchy, colonialism, orientalism, homophobia, ableism, capitalism and extractivism.”
<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/princeton-anti-capitalist-class-teaching-black-people-considered-handicapped-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> highlighted Larson’s racialized course along with a textbook on the <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?courseid=016853&amp;term=1242" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sample Reading List.</a> According to the publisher, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Right-Maim-Debility-Disability-Otherwise/dp/0822369184/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3CJIPSGV1XZ1X&amp;keywords=Jasbir+Puar%2C+The+Right+to+Maim%3A+Debility%2C+Capacity%2C+Disability&amp;qid=1693330890&amp;sprefix=%2Caps%2C142&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability</a>” by Rutgers professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/jasbirpuar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jasbir Puar</a> is “an interrogation of Israel’s policies toward Palestine, in which [Puar] outlines how Israel brings Palestinians into biopolitical being by designating them available for injury.”

According to the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/israeli-minister-asks-princeton-to-remove-antisemitic-propaganda-from-course/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review</a>, “The International Legal Forum, an Israel-based non-profit, criticized the decision to include [Puar’s] book in the course curriculum” and the “Israeli Minister and the International Legal Forum called for removing the book from the course.”

The Review also said, “Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, called for canceling the course and terminating [Larson].”

<a href="https://psych.princeton.edu/people/kristina-olson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kristina Olson</a> is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Princeton University. Her faculty profile says:
“I study how children think about social groups, like those based on race and gender. Much of my most recent work has focused on sex and gender-diverse children with ongoing longitudinal projects exploring gender development and well-being in transgender, gender nonconforming and intersex children.”
In 2019, Olson<a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1909367116" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> co-authored a study</a> entitled “Similarity in transgender and cisgender children’s gender development.” In the study “Abstract,” Olson, et al. conclude, “Our findings suggest that early sex assignment and parental rearing based on that sex assignment do not always define how a child identifies or expresses gender later.”

The study goes on to state that “young transgender children are different from their cisgender peers in their unique gender socialization experience, having lived part of their childhoods treated as members of one gender (before transitioning) and part of their childhoods treated as members of another gender (after transitioning).”

Olson <a href="https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/150/2/e2021056082/186992/Gender-Identity-5-Years-After-Social-Transition?autologincheck=redirected">co-authored another study</a> on the effects of socially transitioning after five years. The study’s “methods” are based on data from the Trans Youth Project (TYP)—powered by Princeton University’s HUman[sic] Diversity Lab. The Lab reported data on 208 transgender girls and 109 transgender boys between ages 3 and 12 who had “made a ‘complete’ binary social transition.”

Notably, Olson is listed as the director of the HUman Diversity Lab <a href="https://hudl.princeton.edu/people" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on the “People” page</a>. 

In the study “Gender Identity 5 Years After Social Transition,” Olson, et al. wrote:
“As part of the larger longitudinal study, parents and youth were regularly asked about whether they had begun using puberty blockers and/or gender-affirming hormones…they were not asked about whether puberty had begun, though our available data suggests that…most participants were followed by an endocrinologist well before puberty began.”
In a discussion of the study’s findings, Olson, et al. concluded that “Five years after an initial binary social transition, 7% of youth had retransitioned at least once…Among those who had begun puberty blockers and/or gender-affirming hormones, only 1 had transitioned to live as cisgender…” 

However, Olson et al. admit in the study that they “did not assess whether participants met criteria for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth edition, diagnosis of gender dysphoria in children” and further stated that “many parents did not believe such diagnoses were either ethical or useful…”

Olson told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/04/health/transgender-children-identity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>:
“There’s this sort of idea that the kids are going to start [transitioning] and that they’re going to change their minds…And at least in our sample, we’re not finding that.”

<a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/people/eddie-s-glaude-jr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eddie Glaude Jr.</a> is a Professor in the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University. In April 2023, Glaude <a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2023/04/african-american-studies-department-princeton-university-glaude-eddie-stepping-down-chair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that he would step down from his position as chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton.

Glaude is the author of several race-focused publications, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Black-Still-Enslaves-American/dp/1522634940?asin=0804137439&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including a book</a> entitled, “Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul.” In the introduction, Glaude wrote:
“This book details what I call the Great Black Depression, and shows how the current rhetoric of economic recovery does not include the majority of black communities in this country. It challenges the pervasive silence about the crisis in black communities and puts forward an idea of American democracy shorn of its racist baggage.”
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Exodus-Religion-Nation-Nineteenth-Century-America/dp/0226298205/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1AHS2LRZ49TN3&amp;keywords=Exodus%21+Religion%2C+race+and+nation+in+Early+19th+century+black+america&amp;qid=1707509859&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=exodus+religion%2C+race+and+nation+in+early+19th+century+black+america%2Cstripbooks%2C121&amp;sr=1-1&amp;asin=0226298205&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In his novel</a> titled “Exodus! Religion, Race, and Nation In Early 19th Century Black America,” Glaude compares the plight of African Americans to biblical accounts of Jews gaining freedom from slavery in Egypt. Glaude said his rendition explores “the ways the story became a source for a particular use of nation language among African Americans as well as a metaphorical framework for understanding the middle passage, enslavement, and quests for emancipation.”

The writers further claimed there is a “widespread dehumanization and erasure of Palestinian life in the United States” and that students who voice support for Palestinians are “continuously subjected to harassment, intimidation, imperiled job prospects, and threats to their personal safety.”

The letter concluded by acknowledging the university’s efforts to “reach out to Jewish community members as well as those with Israeli citizenship to check on their well-being.” They then state:
“We find it unacceptable, however, that Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students were not and have not been accorded a similar show of respect and care. We call upon the University administration to do everything in its power to ensure that all Princetonians are recognized and feel safe and seen in this moment of accelerating grief, horror, and outright danger.”

The writers further claimed there is a “widespread dehumanization and erasure of Palestinian life in the United States” and that students who voice support for Palestinians are “continuously subjected to harassment, intimidation, imperiled job prospects, and threats to their personal safety.”

The letter concluded by acknowledging the university’s efforts to “reach out to Jewish community members as well as those with Israeli citizenship to check on their well-being.” They then state:
“We find it unacceptable, however, that Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students were not and have not been accorded a similar show of respect and care. We call upon the University administration to do everything in its power to ensure that all Princetonians are recognized and feel safe and seen in this moment of accelerating grief, horror, and outright danger.”

<a href="https://anthropology.princeton.edu/people/faculty/agustin-fuentes">Agustín Fuentes</a> is a Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University. According to his university profile, Fuentes’ “research focuses on the biosocial, delving into the entanglement of biological systems with the social and cultural lives of humans, our ancestors, and a few of the other animals with whom humanity shares close relations.” 

His profile further states the nature of his research:
“From chasing monkeys in jungles and cities, to exploring the lives of our evolutionary ancestors, to examining human health, behavior, and diversity across the globe, Professor Fuentes is interested in both the big questions and the small details of what makes humans and our close relations tick.”
In April 2024, Fuentes signed a “<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/04/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-staff-solidarity-palestine-protestors-columbia-barnard-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement of solidarity with Columbia University students from Princeton faculty and staff</a>.” The statement came after student protestors established a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawns of Columbia University, disrupting campus operations, sparking safety concerns, and causing classes to be <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/columbia-university-moves-classes-online-as-pro-palestine-protests-spark-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held remotely</a> for the remainder of the semester. 

The statement begins: 
“We, Princeton University faculty and staff, affirm our solidarity with and support for the Columbia University and Barnard College students who are continuing to demand that the university divest from Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ongoing occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and other Palestinian land.” 
The signatories have committed to boycotting Columbia University and Barnard College until several demands are met, including: 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to reinstate those students who were wrongfully suspended for exercising their constitutionally recognized right to speech and peaceful assembly.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We demand that all charges be dismissed and expunged from their student records, and that all rights and privileges be restored to them immediately.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to remove the New York City Police Department from campus. All criminal charges that have been brought against student protestors who were arrested by the NYPD at the behest of the university administration should be dropped immediately.”</li>
</ul>
The faculty and staff have also called for the university to reverse the suspension of two student groups, Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine and Columbia Jewish Voice for Peace. They concluded their statement with the following: 
“We vow to withhold our academic labor from Columbia and Barnard, not to participate in conferences and other campus events, and not to collaborate with university institutions until such time as the administration has met these demands and demonstrated its commitments to upholding the well-established norms of unrestricted scholarly inquiry and academic freedom.” 
In May 2023, Fuentes penned an opinion piece for Scientific American titled “<a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/heres-why-human-sex-is-not-binary/?amp;text=Here%27s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Here’s Why Human Sex Is Not Binary</a>.” He began his article by stating: 
“There are those, politicians, pundits and even a few scientists, who maintain that whether our bodies make ova or sperm are all we need to know about sex. They assert that men and women are defined by their production of these gamete cells, making them a distinct biological binary pair, and that our legal rights and social possibilities should flow from this divide.” 
Fuentes argued that this is “bad science” and that people who believe legal and policy decisions should be made based on sex “are arguing for a specific political, and discriminatory, definition of what is ‘natural’ and ‘right’ for humans based on a false representation of biology.” He went on to claim: 
“Over the past few centuries this process of misrepresentation of biology was, and still is, used to deny women rights and to justify legal and societal misogyny and inequity, to justify slavery, racialization, racism and to enforce multiple forms of discrimination and bias.” 
“Today dishonest ascriptions of what biology is are being deployed to restrict women’s bodily autonomy, target LGBTQIA+ individuals broadly and, most recently, attack the rights of transexual and transgender people.” 
Fuentes concluded his opinion piece: 
“Given what we know about biology across animals and in humans, efforts to represent human sex as binary based solely on what gametes one produces are not about biology but are about trying to restrict who counts as a full human in society.”

Lurie spoke at the walkout in opposition to the disciplinary actions brought against student protesters:
“We demand that all Barnard College and Columbia University suspensions and charges be dismissed immediately and expunged from students’ records.”
Lurie told the <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/23/aaup-drafts-resolution-of-censure-against-shafik-administration-following-nypd-sweep/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia Spectator</a> that the AAUP disapproved of Shafik’s response to the protesters and said:
“We want to be really clear that we are not calling for her resignation at this time. We want to work with her. We want her and her administration to turn back from the road that they’ve started down last week, and we’re really eager to partner with them in doing that.”

“President Shafik falsely claimed that the students who were arrested for protesting on April 18 posed a ‘clear and present danger to the substantial functioning of the University,’ when in fact they ‘were peaceful, offered no resistance whatsoever, and were saying what they wanted to say in a peaceful manner,’ according to the NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell. Her actions have endangered these students’ welfare, and her draconian and disproportionate punishments have endangered their futures.”
Lurie and the AAUP <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bnEhCa6mR7t_82QUf_qpGT7acudoOMIw/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">maintain</a> that Shafik’s termination is not what they desire in their latest press release:
“Unwarranted statements by members of Congress, including calls for President Shafik’s resignation, undermine the traditions of shared governance and academic freedom that have long ensured America’s educational greatness.”

<a href="https://biology.barnard.edu/profiles/hilary-callahan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hilary Callahan</a> is a Professor of Biological Sciences at Barnard College. According to her university profile, Callahan’s “research examines many different features of plants — from roots to flowers to seeds.”

Callahan participated in a Columbia University and Barnard College faculty protest titled “Rally to Support our Students and Reclaim our University” after student protesters took over the lawns of Columbia University. The <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/23/us-news/columbia-professors-slammed-over-grotesque-rally-that-publicly-backed-ivy-league-schools-anti-israel-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reported, “Scores of professors and staff appeared on the school’s steps to support the right of the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ to take over campus space and denounce the administration’s decision to have protesters arrested.” 

Callahan spoke at the walkout and compared the student protests to the Scopes Trial in 1924. During the Scopes Trial, an elementary school teacher was tried for teaching evolution at a school in Dayton, Tennessee. According to <a href="https://bwog.com/2024/04/student-workers-and-faculty-hold-walkouts-to-demand-amnesty-for-students-and-faculty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BWOG</a>, “Callahan called the historical event an ‘emblem of how wrong it is to treat teachers as pawns and scapegoats,’” and connected it to the response of Columbia University to the protestation of its pro-Palestine faculty and students. 

Callahan then addressed the crowd with certain demands:
 “We insist on science and factual evidence… on delineating the boundaries between certainty and uncertainty…on honest, open, and difficult discourse,” discourse she claimed were “pathways to a more humane world.” 
Callahan described the university’s response to the protests and encampment as “intemperate and regrettable.” She said her and her associates would “work tirelessly to undo that error.”

According to her faculty profile, Eisterer’s “research focuses on spatial histories of dissidence, feminist, queer, and trans* theory in architecture, as well as the labor of social and ecological movements.”

For the current Princeton spring semester, Eisterer is teaching a <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?courseid=017728&amp;term=1254" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course</a> titled “Queer Spaces in the World.” 

The course description asks a series of questions about architecture, and proposes gender theory as a way of interpreting architectural spaces: 

“How do sources determine the histories we can tell about architecture, urban space, and the agents that enliven it? How do we reconcile seeming absences and actual acts of erasure that stare back at us from the archive? How can feminist, gender, queer and trans* theory help us chart new avenues for writing critical architectural histories that are attentive to discourses of difference but also narratives of equity?" 

The course further seeks to discover groups and institutions of resistance towards dominant regimes and philosophies: 

“Which methods, beyond conventional modes of architectural inquiry, can we employ to uncover histories of groups and institutions that have actively resisted dominant regimes of power and their corresponding systems of knowledge?”

Eisterer contributes to an Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/queerspaceworkinggroup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">page</a> titled “queerspaceworkinggroup.” The page is described as a “transnational group of queer scholars &amp; architects 🏳️‍🌈 themed &amp; informal conversations about queer space(s).”

The page displays a focus on “queerifying” [sic] architectural spaces. (See image below from Instagram).

<a href="https://www.journalism.cuny.edu/faculty/peter-beinart/">Peter Beinart</a> is a Professor of Journalism and Political Science at the City University of New York. He is known as an active critic of the state Israel, supports the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, and blames Hamas terrorism on the state of Israel.

Beinart has <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/19/opinion/to-save-israel-boycott-the-settlements.html?_r=1&amp;ref=opinion&amp;pagewanted=all">advocated</a> for the BDS movement to serve as a way to influence Israeli policy making. Beinart has gone so far as to suggest sanctions be put on any products made by Israelis in the West Bank. 

While a fierce critic of Israel, Beinart often excuses Islamic terrorism as understandable and morally equivalent counter-reaction to Israel. In fact, he even goes so far in his book, The Crisis of Zionism, to complement the terrorist organization Hamas. He writes, “[Hamas] has in recent years issued several new documents, which are more compatible with a two-state solution.” 

In a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/08/19/rich-lowry-peter-beinart-debate-omar-tlaib-israel-trip-sot-lead-vpx.cnn">viral</a> debate with National Review editor Rich Lowry, Beinart was quick to defend Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar after they had been denied entry into Israel on account for their support of the BDS movement. When Lowry pointed out that each were traveling with known extremist groups that support terrorism, Beinart began frantically shouting over Lowry, claiming that terrorism is only response to the violenct Israel perpetrates.

Recently, Beinart wrote in the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/08/opinion/israel-annexation-two-state-solution.html">New York Times</a> that he no longer believes that Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish State.

He “helped to wage successful chapter campaigns for health and safety, academic freedom, union membership, adjunct equity, anti-racism, and cross-title solidarity.”

Davis made headlines for his association with anti-Israel activities and organizations on campus. On September 1, 2022, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=20073" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform reported</a>, “During a June 30, 2022, NYC Council meeting regarding anti-Semitism at CUNY, Professor Davis attributed the issue to ‘White Christian nationalism.’”

Campus Reform continued, “The Council meeting came as a response to a number of anti-Semitic incidents at CUNY…including a resolution passed on December 2021 by the CUNY Law Student Government Association demanding that the university ‘cut all ties’ with Israel and endorse the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.”

The <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dm4Sv9QsbzgdyrOhpVABkEZuLskrkcWp9MgjiQRDsG4/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BDS Resolution</a> “is a Palestinian-led global movement that aims to end international support for Israeli violations of international by forcing companies, institutions, and governments to change their policies.”

The Resolution also “calls for the end of Israeli occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantling the Wall, the recognition of the fundamental rights of Palestinian citizens of Israel, and the full right of return of Palestinian refugees.” 

Davis also supports <a href="https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/S4461" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NY State Senate Bill S4461A -The New Deal for CUNY</a>. The general purpose of the New Deal “is intended to reestablish [CUNY] as an engine for social and economic mobility by waiving all tuition and creating certain staff-to-student ratios in order to increase student success.” 

Davis <a href="https://youtu.be/SDLL_7yTq90" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke out during a protest</a> in favor of the New Deal, stating,

“Students need safe and clean buildings and excellent facilities. They deserve more academic advisers and more mental health counselors to support their progress toward their degrees. They deserve access to full-time faculty, not those that need to rush off to their next gig.” 

He continued,

“CUNY students don’t deserve anything less just because half of them come from [low-income] families. They don’t deserve less just because 80 percent of CUNY students are students of color. They don’t deserve less just because 35 percent of them were born in a foreign country. No, they deserve at least as much if not more as any other student.”

In September 2017, the book became available for purchase through an online catalog hosted by <a href="https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674967717" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard University Press</a>. The Press published an “About This Book” section that says, 

“Blackness, as the entertainment and sports industries well know, is a prized commodity in American pop culture. Marketed to white consumers, black culture invites whites to view themselves in a mirror of racial difference, while at the same time offering the illusory reassurance that they remain ‘wholly’ white.”

The Press also mentioned Lott’s <a href="https://www.cc.com/video/ltlgca/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah-reminder-race-is-not-a-costume" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appearance on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah</a>. The episode discussed why blackface never makes a good Halloween costume. The show also featured a Comedy Central video called “Reminder: Race is not a Costume,” which explains how cosmetically darkening one’s skin is offensive in black culture. 

Lott shows up at a Halloween party during the opening monologue, introduces himself, and proceeds to explain how blackface is “rooted in the history and politics of slavery.” He says, 

“[Blackface] is an attempt to control and own the black image. Minstrel shows dominated popular culture and when they died out at the end of that century, [it] migrated to Hollywood…Blackface performers on stage would present slaves singing, dancing, having a grand old time, cutting up, and telling jokes. The whole thing was rooted in white supremacy.”

In his book “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Love_Theft/AA4LQGPw8f8C?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=Love+and+Theft:+Blackface+Minstrelsy+and+the+American+Working+Class&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Love and Theft: Blackface Minstrelsy and the American Working Class,</a>” Lott further explains how minstrel shows were appropriated purely for white entertainment. He claims, 

“Although [minstrels] arose from a white obsession with black (male) bodies which underlies white racial dread to our own day, it ruthlessly disavowed its fleshly investments through ridicule and racist lampoon. Yet I am not so sure this is the end of the story.”

<a href="https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/profiles/stanley-thangaraj" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stanley “Stan” Thangaraj is an Associate Professor of Anthropology</a> at the City College of New York. He specializes in race and sports, gender and sports, and immigration. In a short video, Thangaraj explained his interest in “how immigrants negotiate what it means to be American by looking and practicing in everyday American sports.” He believes "the Trump presidency and the rise of white supremacy presented an opportunity to study the facts of racism in our country.”

In the introduction of his book, “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Desi_Hoop_Dreams/V3bVCQAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=desi+hoop+dreams:+pick+up+basketball+and+the+making+of+asian+american+masculinity&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Desi Hoop Dreams: Pick-Up Basketball and the Making of Asian American Masculinity</a>,” Thangaraj says, “South Asian Americans participate in basketball and other mainstream U.S. sporting cultures to express sporting desires and perform identities as certain types of racialized athletes.” Thangaraj was also a guest on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/tn/podcast/more-than-a-game-sports-race-and-masculinity/id871241283?i=1000500349600" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This Anthro Life podcast in an episode titled More than a Game: Sports, Race, and Masculinity in Diaspora</a>. The episode discussed what globally popular sports reveal about U.S. race relations and how the Black Lives Matter movement impacted nonwhite and nonblack communities.

Professor Thangaraj leads two projects focused on gender and race. The first examines how Muslim Kurdish women in America are seen not as “victims of Islamic patriarchy, [but] how women assert agency and form identities…while challenging mainstream U.S. racializations of them.” The second project is based on the Civil Rights movement's race, class, and sexuality as it is presented in the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee.

Thangaraj identifies as an ally of the LGBTQ community at CCNY. Thereby, his courses affirm to students of all genders, and his classrooms and offices are “safe spaces.” Anthropology of Gender and Sexuality is primarily listed among the courses he teaches.

<a href="http://music.hunter.cuny.edu/faculty/full-time-faculty/philip-ewell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philip Ewell</a> is a Professor of Music Theory at Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY) and the Director of Graduate Studies in the Music Department. Ewell’s university profile says his research interests include race studies in music theory, modal theory, and hip-hop and popular music.

Ewell is quoted in a <a href="https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2022/11/11/profile-philip-ewell-01-the-cellist-shaping-music-theorys-racial-reckoning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yale News profile</a> stating,

“In the mid-20th century, the conceptions of excellence by which he was surrounded were deeply intertwined with ideals of whiteness and maleness. One was not supposed to admit such a notion aloud; instead, it was safer to put forth ‘that Mozart and Beethoven were simply the best composers on the planet.’”

Yale News continued,

“In his most well-known work to date, ‘Music Theory’s Racial Frame,’ Ewell argued for the existence of a structural and institutional white racial frame to the practice of music theory as a whole, and put forth the possibility of reframing the practice in a non-supremacist manner.”

Within the article, Ewell also branded his father — who is an African-American — as a racist and said he “believed deeply in the tenets of Communism.” In Ewell’s discussion regarding race in music, Yale News said, “He brought up his own Black father’s white supremacist as a counterargument; the hierarchy he imposed entailed white supremacy by definition…Ewell called this phenomenon the ‘concentric circles of white supremacy.’”

Ewell published a blog titled “<a href="https://musictheoryswhiteracialframe.wordpress.com/2020/04/10/racism-sexism-and-their-intersection-in-music-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race, Gender, and Their Intersection in Music Theory</a>” where he discusses how American music theory only recognizes Ancient Greek, Latin, Italian, French and German. He wrote, “Music theory’s white racial frame believes that the only foreign music theoretical works worth studying were written in these five languages.”

Regarding music programs on college campuses he argues, “Seminars featuring 100% white-male music theorists create hostile environments for POC (people of color) and nonmales, and, especially, nonmales of color.” He also claimed the courses are “all-white all-male seminars” that “highlight the intersection of race and gender in music theory.”

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”
The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”
The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people.

Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 
They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”

The authors put forth the following goal to resolve what they deem to be the lessening of diversity and equity caused by COVID-19:
“For starters, every institution must acknowledge the problem and openly address what can appear invisible and ignored to those of us living in this reality. The academy risks emerging from this pandemic with less diversity and gender equity than before unless we change course. The first step is initiating a conversation and listening. Once people have a space to talk openly about their challenges, a lot of problem solving and solutions naturally emerge.”\

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/zohra-ansari-thomas.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zohra Ansari-Thomas</a> is an Assistant Professor of Public Health &amp; Sociology at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. Ansari-Thomas’s university profile states her “research uses survey data and quantitative methods to examine social and structural inequalities in population health.”

Ansari-Thomas was one of 125 Franklin and Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/van-gosse.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Van Gosse</a> is a Professor of History at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. According to his university profile, Gosse states that his “teaching and scholarship have focused on the African American struggle for citizenship, and politics and culture in the Global Cold War.”

Gosse was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

<a href="https://education.sdsu.edu/directory/lashae-collins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor LaShae Collins, M.A</a>., is a professor in the Department of Africana Studies at San Diego State University. 
<a href="https://newsone.com/4425479/san-diego-state-fake-slave-persona/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newsone reports</a> that in October of 2022, Collins has “come under fire” for having her students complete an assignment that requires them to “create a slave persona.” An anonymous student claims that Collins wanted them to write diary entries using “broken English” in order to make their persona “historically accurate.” The same student also said that Collins wanted her students to “wear tattered clothing to illustrate the slave experience.” 
However, the Africana Studies Department Chair, <a href="https://thedailyaztec.com/111463/news/sdsu-africana-studies-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adisa Alkebulan, told The Daily Aztec</a> that “there was never a requirement (for students) to dress as slaves or speak in ‘broken English’ as has been falsely reported in some news outlets.” The assignment description, which was posted on Instagram by student Amari Jackson, seems to corroborate the Department Chair’s statement, as broken English and tattered clothing are mentioned nowhere on it (see image below):

Yet, SDSU student Robbie Jackson stated Collins told her students that dressing as a slave was optional for the assignment. Another student said that Collins told her class that past students of the course came to class dressed as slaves for the assignment, which seemed to the student imply that they could get a better grade if they did so. Another anonymous student sent The Daily Aztec a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CjllD9ZvH1s/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PDF file</a> containing actual slave narratives which was provided to the students as a resource for the assignment. The narratives are full of broken English, which made the student think that Collins was recommending her students to use such language in the assignment. 
According to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CjjI-SlvcpN/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=455c6dba-0246-45e2-8fd6-0ab7e0fd3518" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amari Jackson</a>, Collins canceled “in-class presentations where she wanted us to act and dress in our personas.”

Diddy and &#8220;Baby Oil&#8221; Costumes Worn by San Diego State Students
Two students at San Diego State University have come under fire for their choice of Halloween costumes. 
One of the students, a white male, dressed up as defamed music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. His costume featured a black sport jacket, white pants, and a pink collared shirt with a red bowtie. His countenance was also covered in blackface. His partner’s costume was a simple pink outfit with a Johnson’s baby oil logo attached to her shirt. She also held a bottle of baby oil to add to the effect of her costume.
Since Combs’ arrest in September, baby oil has been associated with his name after it was discovered to be a prominent feature at his secret “freak-off” parties. Federal agents also <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1408795/diddy-allegedly-laced-baby-oil-with-date-rape-drug" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discovered</a> 1,000 baby oil bottles — allegedly laced with Rohypnol (GHB), a date rape drug — in Combs’ Miami residence after it was raided earlier in the year. 
The costumes first came to attention through a video posted on social media titled 
“How the group chat dressed for Halloween.” The video was deleted after the woman who posted the video, a fellow student, deactivated her social media accounts. (See image below, taken from <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14010741/influencer-slammed-diddy-blackface-baby-oil-halloween-costume.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a>).
At the time of this publication, the names of the students in costume are unknown to the public.

A spokesperson for SDSU, concerned with the students’ costumes, told the Daily Mail:
“Our team is working to confirm information, to include the location and the names and affiliations of the individuals involved.
“We appreciate the willingness of people who have come forward to share information with the university. 
“The use of blackface and any actions making light of sexual assault are deeply offensive and have no place in a respectful, caring community.&#8217;”

After being criticized for the anti-semitic map, Zakaria, according to The Daily Caller, “redistributed the exact same map after sloppily writing ‘Israel’ and generally indicating where the country is.”

In light of criticism from pro-Israel students, “Zakaria has expressed regret to the class,” The Daily Caller reports. However, “he has not issued any apology to anyone outside the class.”

<a href="http://thedailyaztec.com/40678/news/middle-east-map-stirs-controversy-on-campus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Aztec</a> also reported that, according to Zakaria, the map “was never meant to be seen as political or geographical; instead it was meant to display Arabic-speaking countries—about 15 percent of Israel’s population speaks Arabic.”

“While SDSU encourages scholarly debate and discussion of varying opinions, presenting inaccurate information to students in not acceptable. This inaccurate portrayal will not reoccur.”

According to his university biography, Dr. Graubart specializes in international relations, international law, Israel-Palestine, the UN, normative theory, and “resistance politics.”

In a July 2017 article, The College Fix reported that Dr. Graubart <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-annoyed-groundswell-good-wishes-john-mccain-calls-war-criminal/">condemned Senator McCain as a “war criminal</a>” and someone who “has championed horrifying actions” in a now-deleted Facebook post on his personal account. <a href="https://www.johnmccain.com/">John McCain</a> was a United States Senator from Arizona who <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/john-mccain-dead-at-81">served as a Navy pilot and was a prisoner of war</a> during the Vietnam War. He died in August of 2018 after a battle with brain cancer.

In the now-deleted Facebook post, Dr. Graubart stated that <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-annoyed-groundswell-good-wishes-john-mccain-calls-war-criminal/">he found himself “annoyed at the groundswell of good wishes for John McCain after his diagnosis of glioblastoma” (brain cancer).</a>.” His comment was posted <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/lawmakers-send-wishes-john-mccain-brain-tumor-announcement/story?id=48736469">just after John McCain announced his cancer diagnosis</a>.

“SDSU does not have a social media policy for faculty and staff. As a public institution, we do not and cannot regulate the private speech of students, faculty or staff. However, that should not imply the university's endorsement of any particular viewpoint”

In a statement to Fox News later in 2017, Dr. Graubart stated that he posted the remarks on his private Facebook account, and therefore <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/professor-calls-mccain-a-war-criminal-annoyed-at-well-wishes-after-senators-brain-cancer-diagnosis">were written in an “off-the-cuff manner”</a> and not with a “large public in mind.”

“He was the second right-wing radio host who mocked vaccines before dying of COVID-19” and “He was the second right wing radio host who mocked vaccines before dying of COVID-19.”
This quiz comes from the <a href="http://mycatalog.txstate.edu/undergraduate/fine-arts-communication/journalism-mass/#coursestext">“Editing and Managing Content” course</a> in the Mass Communication Department.

Texas State University

<a href="https://www.txstate.edu/history/people/faculty/bishop.html">Elizabeth Bishop</a> is an associate professor in the History Department at Texas State University (TXST).

&nbsp;
Censorship
In 2017, Bishop attempted to have a conservative student and another professional fired from their jobs due to comments each made on Facebook with which Bishop disagreed.

The controversy began with a <a href="https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2017/04/01/texas-prof-tries-to-get-conservatives-fired-over-facebook-argument-n51022">post</a> by Texas State University Student Body Vice President, Colton Duncan, who objected to TXST hosting <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Angela-Davis">Angela Davis</a> as a speaker. Davis, a Vice-Presidential candidate for the Communist Party USA, was once one of the <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/topten-history/hires_images/FBI-309-AngelaYvonneDavis.jpg/view">FBI’s most wanted criminals </a>for the murder of a trial judge. PJ Media reports <a href="https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2017/04/01/texas-prof-tries-to-get-conservatives-fired-over-facebook-argument-n51022">Duncan calling Davis</a> an “American terrorist,” while simultaneously denying the College Republicans the opportunity to host their women’s empowerment summit.

According to Campus Reform, Bishop then <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9002">replied</a> to Duncan’s post, stating it was a “shame” that students didn’t know the difference between Hitler and Stalin.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1161 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-08T135906.192-e1615237216944-1024x358.png" alt="" width="580" height="203" />

Alexander Morrisette, an employee of the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF), commented on Bishop’s reply, stating, “Enemies can have similar goals, interests, and dreams of autocratic control.”

Morrisette’s response evolved into a debate with Bishop in Facebook’s comment section. As each continued posting comments, an anonymous student, whose identity cannot be verified, proceeded to “like'' all of Morrisette’s comments. This prompted Bishop to call Texas State University department that employed the student who had “liked” Morrisette’s comments asking that the student, and those whom Bishop described as the student’s “associates,” be investigated for “hate speech.” According to Campus Reform, Bishop also <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9002">demanded</a> that the university department that employed dismiss her from all leadership positions.

In an attempt to damage Morrisette’s employment, Bishop also contacted TPPF claiming that Morrisette had made disparaging remarks about her. Bishop, however, <a href="https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2017/04/01/texas-prof-tries-to-get-conservatives-fired-over-facebook-argument-n51022">refused</a> to give any further details.

*Following coverage by the Professor Watchlist team, Rick Henderson is no longer listed as a professor at Texas State University."
&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.polisci.txstate.edu/people/faculty-bios/henderson.html">Rick Henderson</a>, a Senior Lecturer at Texas State University, accused multiple Republican presidential candidates of “talking out of [their] ass[es],” including Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Rand Paul, and Carly Fiorina. According to an audio recording of the class, Henderson said “So I guess if you’re Rand Paul you just go, ‘hmm, what can I pull out my ass?’ And Carly Fiorina saying that marijuana is more dangerous than beer? Talking out of her ass! And Ted Cruz, I can’t tell the difference between his mouth and his ass. I mean, what are you talking about? Are you insane?’” The diatribe caused the department chair to remind “Professor Henderson of the need to maintain a classroom climate that honors the principles of free and open expression while maintaining an appropriate level of civility.”

These statements were made during an interview with The Leaf-Chronicle while she was a professor of English at <a href="https://www.apsu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Austin Peay State University</a>. Dr. Goldstone was in charge of the African-American studies minor program for the last six years; she stated: “I do feel that my job, as a black professor, is to help black students specifically, to get through, but I have students of all colors coming to my office, and I help everybody… I still believe that you have to be twice as good to be equal to white people.”

Bertling has been involved in the journalism field for many years, as stated on her university profile. 

According to <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=20480">Campus Reform</a>, students were assigned “an AP-style quiz” that mocked a conservative radio host who is deceased. The specific question [obtained by Campus Reform]  was multiple-choice and displayed with two examples of the same sentence: 

“He was the second right-wing radio host who mocked vaccines before dying of COVID-19” and “He was the second right wing radio host who mocked vaccines before dying of COVID-19.”

This quiz comes from the <a href="http://mycatalog.txstate.edu/undergraduate/fine-arts-communication/journalism-mass/#coursestext">“Editing and Managing Content” course</a> in the Mass Communication Department. The course description states: “Students will incorporate words, images, sound and data into storytelling across platforms. This course tightens the focus on audience, accuracy, meaning, logic, organization, style and form.”

Campus Reform reports that Office of Media Relations employee, Jayme Blaschke, “told Campus Reform that the ‘example sentences included in the assignment were all taken from published news articles.’”

Dr. James Livingston is <a href="https://history.rutgers.edu/faculty-directory/172-livingston-james" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a tenured Professor of History</a> at Rutgers University. His specialty is listed as Modern US: Intellectual and Economic History. He considers himself an “economic historian” and professionally writes many publications about politics, economics, and working in the United States.
In his personal time, Dr. Livingston often takes to Facebook to discuss similar topics, but in a less professional manner. <a href="https://pen.org/press-clip/white-professor-accused-of-antiwhite-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a Facebook post from May 31, 2018</a>, Dr. Livingston denounces the white race and belligerently asserts he “hates white people.” Later in the post, he calls white Americans “little caucasian assholes who know their parents will approve of anything they do” and “little shitheads.”
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1630" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.29.30-PM.png" alt="" width="557" height="322" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.29.30-PM.png 557w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.29.30-PM-300x173.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px" />
&nbsp;
When Facebook flagged the post and took it down, rather than apologize for his racist rant, he posted the following:
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1631" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.30.14-PM.png" alt="" width="604" height="188" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.30.14-PM.png 604w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.30.14-PM-300x93.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px" />
&nbsp;
Shortly after his anti-white tirade, Rutgers launched an investigation into his posts. The university stated that they received several anonymous complaints about the posts, calling them to take action against the Professor. Dr. Livingston claimed he was making a statement about gentrification and told university officials that white supremacists were sending him threatening messages.
The investigation was headed by Carolyn Dellatore, the associate director of the Office of Employment Equity. <a href="https://www.thefire.org/rutgers-investigation-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Her investigation found that</a> “given Professor Livingston’s insistence on making disparaging racial comments, a reasonable student may have concerns that he or she would be stigmatized in his classes because of his or her race. As such, Professor Livingston’s comments have violated university policy.” He argued, however, that his posts were not racist because white people cannot be discriminated against. He also argued that the first amendment gave him the right to freedom of speech.
The university initially decided to sanction Dr. Livingston, but they <a href="https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2018/11/15/no-punishment-rutgers-university-professor-over-white-people-comments-facebook/2016377002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ultimately reversed their decision</a> in November 2018, clearing him of all charges. Dr. Livingston is still teaching at Rutgers University today.

<a href="https://comminfo.rutgers.edu/kumar-deepa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deepa Kumar</a> is a Professor of Journalism and Media Studies at Rutgers University. According to her faculty profile, Kumar is “internationally recognized as a leading scholar of race and anti-Muslim racism.” As the president of Rutgers <a href="https://rutgersaaup.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AAUP-AFT academic union</a>, she also “led the transition to an intersectional approach of <a href="https://www.tempestmag.org/2023/04/intersectional-organizing-wall-to-wall-at-rutgers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unionism</a>, centering on race and gender equity.”

PROTESTS

In April 2023, Kumar participated in an interview with <a href="https://tempestmag.org/2023/04/intersectional-organizing-wall-to-wall-at-rutgers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tempest Magazine</a>, in which she discussed the history of faculty strikes led by the AAUP-AFT academic union. Kumar believes adjunct professors are entitled to the same benefits as full-time and tenured faculty. 

The article states: “The Rutgers AAUP-AFT had worked over a period of years to build a ‘wall-to-wall,’ industrial-style, intersectional union … the union also made race and gender justice central to its organizing and negotiations as a way to bridge divides and to support a diverse student body.”

When asked, “Can you speak to the wall-to-wall organizing strategy and its lessons, methods, and challenges”, Kumar responded:
“The university is a very hierarchical space where status and stature are given to certain people and denied to others. The most senior professors are at the top of this hierarchy of academic workers, whereas adjunct faculty are largely invisible … Beyond this are of course the workers who clean our campuses, feed our students, do administrative work, deliver packages and do various other tasks.”
She further discussed how the state governor pressured the union to suspend the strike and the union’s vote to take a $70 framework to avoid an injunction, which would force adjunct faculty back to return to work.

RACIAL IDEOLOGY; ANTI-LAW ENFORCEMENT; TERROR SUPPORTER

Kumar is the author of “<a href="https://www.versobooks.com/products/955-islamophobia-and-the-politics-of-empire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire</a>,” in which she discussed the supposed rise of anti-Muslim racism following the 9/11 <a href="https://www.911memorial.org/911-faqs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Trade Center</a> terrorist attacks. Her perspective of the US government’s response suggests that using surveillance and other methods of securing American civilians were acts of racial prejudice against Arabs and Muslims.

In the book introduction, Kumar wrote:
“Even before I began my study of the history of Islam, of Muslim-majority countries, and of the relationship between East and West, I knew instinctively that the Islamophobic rhetoric that passed as common sense in the United States was dead wrong … I am grateful to the dozens of Middle East studies scholars and others before me who have studied the ‘Muslim world’ for advancing my knowledge of this subject and helping me to expose the underlying racism inherent in the logic of Islamophobia.”
By the end of the novel, Kumar claimed, “We also saw that  the image of the menacing ‘Muslim threat’ [had] been mobilized largely by ruling elites to serve a political agenda, whether the domination of Europe by the papacy in the eleventh century or US expansionism today.”

Kumar once posted on Twitter that she believed the US government was more brutal than the ISIS terrorist regime.

<a href="https://jasbirkpuar.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jasbir Puar</a> is the Professor and Graduate Director of Women’s and Gender Studies at Rutgers University.

Puar is an editor and author of several publications including a book entitled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Right-Maim-Debility-Disability-Otherwise/dp/0822369184/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3CJIPSGV1XZ1X&amp;keywords=Jasbir+Puar%2C+The+Right+to+Maim%3A+Debility%2C+Capacity%2C+Disability&amp;qid=1693330890&amp;sprefix=%2Caps%2C142&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability</a>.” According to the publisher, the text  is “an interrogation of Israel’s policies toward Palestine, in which [Puar] outlines how Israel brings Palestinians into biopolitical being by designating them available for injury.” 

The publisher also wrote, “Supplementing its right to kill with what Puar calls the right to maim, the Israeli state relies on liberal frameworks of disability to obscure and enable the mass debilitation of Palestinian bodies.”

Rutgers congratulated Puar on the book, despite its racist and anti-semitic themes. In a <a href="https://womens-studies.rutgers.edu/news-events/news/1216-congratulations-professor-jasbir-puar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> from the Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, the university awarded Puar with the National Women’s Studies Association 2018 Alison Piepmeier Book Prize for “The Right to Maim.” The publication says:

“Weaving disability studies together with queer theory, transgender studies, biopolitics and assemblage theory, Puar moves from the racialized constitution of transgender through the Israeli occupation of Palestine, focusing on what it means to manipulate bodies on the population level..”

Puar’s anti-semitic writing drew national attention after <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/satyellarson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princeton Professor Satyel Larson</a> featured “The Right to Maim” on a course reading list.

In response to Puar’s book, the<a href="https://www.jns.org/column/antisemitism/23/8/22/312418/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Jewish News Syndicate</a> said, “There are no statistics gathered by UNICEF, the World Health Organization, or even the virulently antisemitic Palestinian Authority to substantiate [Puar’s] claims, nor is there any medical evidence.”

The Syndicate also said, “Lamentably, Puar’s anti-semitic diatribe is just one of many examples of college-level faculty and administration espousing hate against Jewish students and the Jewish state.”

In her <a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/terrorist-assemblages-tenth-anniversary-edition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">book</a> “Terrorist Assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times,” Puar “argues that configurations of sexuality, race, gender, nation, class and ethnicity are realigning in relation to contemporary forces of securitization, counterterrorism and nationalism.” 

Puar <a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/Assets/PubMaterials/978-0-8223-7150-2_601.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote in the introduction</a>: 

“In Terrorist Assemblages, my primary interest is in the process of the management of queer life at the expense of sexually and racially perverse death in relation to the contemporary politics of securitization, Orientalism, terrorism, torture and the articulation of Muslim, Arab, Sigh and South Asian sexualities.”

<a href="http://www.kevin-allred.com/">Kevin Allred</a> was an adjunct instructor at Rutgers University. He underwent a psych evaluation after a series of questionable and possibly threatening tweets relating to Trump and the Second Amendment. He also went to Twitter after the election to complain that Rutgers had not publicly ensured the safety of students after Trump won. He also teaches a class called "Politicizing Beyonce".

<a href="https://rcws10.rutgers.edu/faculty/Chikindas/">Professor Michael Chikindas</a>, Rutgers University, posted frequent anti-Semitic comments, at one point referring to Jewish people as “international fat Jewish pockets.” “These jewish [sic] motherf*****s do not control me.

<a href="http://history.rutgers.edu/faculty-directory/174-markowitz-norman">Dr. Norman Markowitz</a> is a Professor of History at Rutgers University. Dr. Markowitz is also an active member of the Communist Party USA since 1978.  He writes and teaches about communism using his “Marxist Perspective.” As a supporter of Obama, Markowitz said that it would be good if Obama’s policies were labeled socialist because it would bring socialism to the forefront and looked at more seriously as a viable option for Americans. He has been a longtime defender of the Communist spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, and has said he has “enormous respect” for Howard Zinn, a Marxist historian.

<a href="https://law.rutgers.edu/directory/view/mbk69" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Margo Kaplan</a> is a Professor of Law at <a href="https://law.rutgers.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rutgers University Law School</a> in Camden, New Jersey. According to her university biography, she teaches courses on “Criminal Law, Health Law and Policy, and Sex Crimes” and explores the “legal limitations on intimate decisions.”

Dr. Kaplan has spent her academic career attempting to normalize pedophilia. In a paper for the <a href="https://scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu/wlulr/vol72/iss1/4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington and Lee Law Review</a>, she advocates for the reclassification of pedophilia as a mental disorder so that pedophiles may be awarded more civil rights:

“...we should not categorically deny pedophilia the civil rights protections afforded to other mental disorders without a convincing normative justification supported by cogent scientific evidence. Strengthening civil rights protections for those with pedophilia also increases access to treatment and support that helps prevent child abuse.”

In a similar piece for the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Times</a>—titled, "Pedophilia: A Disorder, Not a Crime,"—Dr. Kaplan attempts a sickening effort to lure readers into sympathizing with pedophiles by characterizing pedophiles as adolescents with harmless, childhood crushes.

“THINK back to your first childhood crush. Maybe it was a classmate or a friend next door. Most likely, through school and into adulthood, your affections continued to focus on others in your approximate age group. But imagine if they did not. By some estimates, 1 percent of the male population continues, long after puberty, to find themselves attracted to prepubescent children. These people are living with pedophilia, a sexual attraction to prepubescents that often constitutes a mental illness. Unfortunately, our laws are failing them and, consequently, ignoring opportunities to prevent child abuse.”

Her intellectual sleight of hand is prevalent in both pieces. Kaplan blames the abuse of children partially on what she views as the severity in which society treats pedophilia, resulting in pedophiles abstaining from seeking treatment.

When later interviewed by <a href="https://www.phillymag.com/news/2014/10/06/pedophilia-not-a-crime-rutgers-margo-kaplan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia Magazine</a>, Dr. Kapland claimed to be “shocked” at the amount of support she had received, accusing critics she did have of not even reading her article.

<a href="https://history.rutgers.edu/people/faculty/details/1143-bray-mark">Mark Bray</a> is a part-time lecturer in the Department of History at Rutgers University.

Bray first gained notoriety in 2017 when he <a href="https://www.mhpbooks.com/books/antifa/">authored</a> "The Anti-Fascist Handbook," and offered to <a href="https://campusreform.org/?id=14972">donate</a> half of the proceeds to ANTIFA.

Bray fully endorses ANTIFA’s embrace of violence as a tactic, and often describes it as “self-defense”. He has <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9616">stated</a> that in order to “preemptively” shut down far-right events and gatherings,  “physical violence against white supremacists is both ethically justifiable and strategically effective.”

Soon after publication, he appeared on NBC to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/antifa-violence-ethical-author-explains-why-n796106">defend</a> the use of force against opposing protestors. He claimed that as an illiberal organization, ANTIFA has and will continue to shut down the free speech of the far right.

Bray recently penned an op-ed in the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/01/trump-antifa-terrorist-organization/">Washington Post</a> in the midst of mass-rioting following the death of George Floyd. After expressing sympathy with the looters, Bray claims that police officers are, in fact, deadlier than ANTIFA.  He wrote, “...and in the United States, ANTIFA have never killed anyone, unlike their enemies in Klan hoods and squad cars.” 

After his views were <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/red-alert-politics/dartmouth-president-disavows-professor-justified-antifa-violence-self-defense">condemned</a> by Dartmouth University - his employer at the time - Bray soon began lecturing at Rutgers, where his university biography describes him as a “historian of human rights, terrorism, and politics in Modern Europe.”

<a href="https://asianlanguages.rutgers.edu/menu-i/69-richard-vanness-simmons">Richard VanNess Simmons</a> is a professor of Chinese and East Asian Studies and serves as the <a href="https://www.ciru.rutgers.edu/about-us/people-2">Director of the Confucius Institute</a> at Rutgers University. The Confucius Institute is funded by the Chinese Communist Party and serves as a focal point for the dissemination of propaganda and foreign espionage on American campuses.
<div class="sc-bfYoXt hQEBdv sc-fOICqy gBmfJO">

China is the greatest existential threat that the United States currently faces. Through military, governmental, and financial fronts, the authoritarian Chinese government seeks to supplant the United States as the world’s sole superpower. None of their tactics may be more perfidious than the placement of Confucius Institutes on campuses across the country. Currently, Confucius Institutes operate at American universities, high schools, and even elementary schools, serving as focal points of China’s espionage against our country. China has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to indoctrinate students with state-sponsored, communist propaganda, matched by university funds that are enabled by your hard-earned tax dollars.

Every single tribunal—from Nuremberg to Rwanda, from Bosnia to Cambodia, every prosecution from the [International Criminal Court]—was meant to atone for our moral failures…”

Ms. <a href="https://crimjust.rutgers.edu/people/faculty-directory/details/30-faculty/faculty/620-erakat-noura">Noura Erakat</a> is an Assistant Professor of Africana Studies at Rutgers University. According to her university profile, Professor Erakat specializes in fields that include international law, humanitarian law, human rights law, national security law, refugee law, and critical race theory. A harsh critic of the state of Israel, the professor has repeatedly demonized and called for the destruction of the only Jewish state in the world.

Professor Erakat’s work frequently characterizes Israel as a racist state that is equivalent to the apartheid-era South African government. In a November 2019 interview with DemocracyNow, she stated, ”<a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2019/11/19/noura_erakat_israeli_settlements_trump_announcement">we are witnessing the entrenchment of an apartheid regime</a>, and the U.S. [is] at the helm of that process.”

Professor Erakat repeats this false claim to justify her support of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. In a November 2020 video panel discussion with the Middle East Institute, Professor Erakat calls on the world <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S7ZkKMFUuU&amp;t=3956s">to resist and alienate Israel via adherence to a BDS platform</a>.

&nbsp;

BDS—short for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions—supporters embrace the following three tenets as a feature of the campaign:

- Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;

- Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and

- Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel.

Mr. Omar Barghouti, a co-founder of the BDS movement, admits that the ultimate outcome of these steps is the <a href="https://twitter.com/StandWithUs/status/1267561561565958144">dismantlement of the state of Israel</a>.

Professor Erakat likewise calls for Israel to be destroyed and replaced by an Arab-majority Palestinian state. As reported by The Spectator in July 2019, Ms. Erakat spoke at an event in Washington, DC, where she <a href="https://spectator.org/noura-erakat-recounts-her-anxiety-over-israels-existence/">advocated for Arabs to “help indigenize” Jews in Israel </a>in order to achieve a sole Palestinian state or a “one-state solution.”

Professor Erakat is far more brazen in calling for the outright destruction of Israel when speaking at anti-Israel protests around the country. During one march in May 2021—captured by News2Share—she called for the <a href="https://twitter.com/FordFischer/status/1393739882825195521/">liberation of Palestine, “from the river to the sea.</a>”

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Noura-Erakat-From-the-River-to-the-Sea-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

According to the Israeli newspaper Arutz Sheva, the chant, “from the river to the sea,” was <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/291203">popularized by terrorist groups such as the Palestinian Liberation Organization</a> (PLO). The phrase alludes to the destruction of Israel—and thus the genocide of the nation’s Jews—between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1948/08/02/archives/aim-to-oust-jews-pledged-by-sheikh-head-of-moslem-brotherhood-says.html">The chant is thought to originate from the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan el-Banna</a>, who was qouted by The New York Times stating, "If the Jewish state becomes a fact, and this is realized by the Arab peoples, they will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea."

Even though Professor Erakat can be heard calling for the “denuclearization of Israel” in the same speech, she had in 2013 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I20HOx5zfv0&amp;ab_channel=JFhsfohhMN">condemned efforts to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program as “racist</a>.”

&nbsp;

She further <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/CMzhsZtBfgg/?igshid=5p918cganhq1">defended this position</a> in a video uploaded to her Instagram in March of 2021, arguing there is no contradiction in opposing sanctions for Iran while supporting sanctions on Israel.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Noura-Erakat-Instagram-Edited-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

During a separate march in May of 2021,  Ms. Erakat can be heard chanting “By spirit and by blood, we redeem you, Palestine!” in front of the Israeli Embassy.

&nbsp;

In April of 2020, Noura Erakat’s cousin, Mr. Ahmed Erakat, was killed after <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2020/06/29/palestinian-rams-a-checkpoint-death-lies-and-videotape/">ramming his car into an Israeli checkpoint during a failed terrorist attack</a>. Despite the publication of footage verifying the incident and a pipe bomb later being found in the van by investigators, Ms. Erakat continues to claim that he was murdered by Israeli forces.

Dr. James Livingston is <a href="https://history.rutgers.edu/faculty-directory/172-livingston-james" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a tenured Professor of History</a> at Rutgers University. His specialty is listed as Modern US: Intellectual and Economic History. He considers himself an “economic historian” and professionally writes many publications about politics, economics, and working in the United States.

In his personal time, Dr. Livingston often takes to Facebook to discuss similar topics, but in a less professional manner. <a href="https://pen.org/press-clip/white-professor-accused-of-antiwhite-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a Facebook post from May 31, 2018</a>, Dr. Livingston denounces the white race and belligerently asserts he “hates white people.” Later in the post, he calls white Americans “little caucasian assholes who know their parents will approve of anything they do” and “little shitheads.”

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1630" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.29.30-PM.png" alt="" width="557" height="322" />

&nbsp;

When Facebook flagged the post and took it down, rather than apologize for his racist rant, he posted the following:

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1631" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.30.14-PM.png" alt="" width="604" height="188" />

&nbsp;

Shortly after his anti-white tirade, Rutgers launched an investigation into his posts. The university stated that they received several anonymous complaints about the posts, calling them to take action against the Professor. Dr. Livingston claimed he was making a statement about gentrification and told university officials that white supremacists were sending him threatening messages.

The investigation was headed by Carolyn Dellatore, the associate director of the Office of Employment Equity. <a href="https://www.thefire.org/rutgers-investigation-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Her investigation found that</a> “given Professor Livingston’s insistence on making disparaging racial comments, a reasonable student may have concerns that he or she would be stigmatized in his classes because of his or her race. As such, Professor Livingston’s comments have violated university policy.” He argued, however, that his posts were not racist because white people cannot be discriminated against. He also argued that the first amendment gave him the right to freedom of speech.

The university initially decided to sanction Dr. Livingston, but they <a href="https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2018/11/15/no-punishment-rutgers-university-professor-over-white-people-comments-facebook/2016377002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ultimately reversed their decision</a> in November 2018, clearing him of all charges. Dr. Livingston is still teaching at Rutgers University today.

<a href="https://journalism.nyu.edu/about-us/profile/chenjerai-kumanyika/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chenjerai Kumanyika</a> is an Assistant Professor of Journalism at New York University. According to his faculty profile, “Kumanyika specializes in using narrative non-fiction audio journalism to critique the ideology of American historical myths about issues such as race, the Civil War, and policing.”

RACE IDEOLOGY

During his time as a professor at Rutgers University, Kumanyika was featured in a <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/rutgers-journalism-prof-claims-language-matters-compares-death-cult-gop-fecal-matter/16410" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> article titled “Rutgers journalism prof claims ‘language matters,’ then compares ‘death cult’ GOP to ‘fecal matter.’” The source said, “In February [2020], [Kumanyika] appeared at an event with Boston University for Anti-Racist Research Director Ibram Kendi in which he declared that ‘language matters.’”

Kumanyika called conservatives “fecal matter” on social media and told his “liberal friends” to “call out” and “organize against” the Biden-Harris administration if they tried to work with opposition leaders.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In a 2020 Resilience article called “Seeing White: Chenjerai’s Challenge,” Kumanyika provides a transcript of a podcast where he asked the host <a href="https://kenan.ethics.duke.edu/john-biewen-joins-kenan-institute-for-ethics-as-director-of-storytelling-and-public-engagement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Biewen</a>, “How attached are you to the idea of being white?” Kumanyika also posed questions such as, “[W]hen was whiteness good? It’s kind of like, when was America great?” Later in the episode, he told Biewen:

<a href="https://sph.rutgers.edu/concentrations/urban-global-public-health/faculty-member.php?id=92133" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Perry Halkitis</a> is the Dean and Hunterdon Professor of Public Health and Health Equity in the School of Public Health at Rutgers University. He is designated as a Distinguished Professor with research interests in infectious diseases such as HIV, HPV, and COVID-19.

Halkitis is the founder and director of the Center for Health, Identity, Behavior and Prevention Studies (CHIBPS). CHIBPS is not a medical clinic but is “an interdisciplinary research center within the Rutgers School of Public Health. <a href="https://sph.rutgers.edu/centers/chibps/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The center’s website</a> says the organization is “nationally recognized for the study of LGBTQ health with a focus on the disparities of infectious diseases including HIV, substance use, and mental health burden.”  

In March 2022, CHIBPS offered a survey and raffle for anyone willing to participate in their research into LGBTQ communities’ vaccination experiences.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Halkitis put #EthicalDisruptor in his Twitter profile and uses his page to bring awareness to LGBTQ community issues. In a video pinned by Halkitis, a host of New Jersey Power and Politics interviewed him regarding the Colorado Springs <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/grotesque-politicization-colorado-springs-gay-bar-shooting-opinion-1761129" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gay night club shooting</a>.  

Halkitis was asked how he thought rhetoric from political figures enabled people like the shooter to commit hate crimes. Halkitis, who believes microaggressions are a public health issue, stated:

“We’ve been seeing over the course of the last four to five years a steady increase in hate crimes…[We need to] think about how our work in public health has to be responsible enough to call out that rhetoric — whether it be macro aggressions…or the microaggressions that marginalize people on a daily basis.”

Halkitis also said the fact that the club shooter identifies as “nonbinary” is not a factor because “LGBTQ people are raised in a society that also embeds us with trans-homophobia…and many of us internalize it.”

<a href="https://ifh.rutgers.edu/faculty_staff/naa-oyo-a-kwate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naa Oyo Kwate</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Human Ecology and in the Department of Africana Studies at Rutgers University. Her faculty profile says she has “wide-ranging interests in racial equity and African American health.” Her research interests include “ways in which urban built environments reflect racial inequities…and how racism, directly and indirectly, affects African American health.”

The University of Pennsylvania invited Kwate to give a talk on February 15, 2023. The <a href="https://www.nursing.upenn.edu/calendar/view/event/event_id/4222/view/event" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announcement</a> says Kwate “examines the ways in which fast food…has shifted from its position of jealously guarded whiteness and wholesome leisure to gauche, homogenized, anachronistic—and black.”

The abstract further states, “Fast food has undergone a complete inversion from its historical origins of serving urban white workers and middle-class white suburban families to become synonymous with urban black space.”

In her book, “<a href="https://manifold.umn.edu/projects/burgers-in-blackface" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Burgers in Blackface</a>,” Kwate discussed restaurant culture from the perspective of slavery and the ridicule of black people. She introduced the book by stating, “This book examines the ways in which American restaurants have traded on denigrating images of black people in names, branding, and architecture. The United States has a long history of black stereotypes being used to sell products, particularly packaged food…”

She concludes the book, “Because racism is the way American society does business, the establishments reviewed here may at first blush suggest simply another–if unique–example of how business is done…It is also possible that racist restaurants mobilize the culture, geography, and institutions of the South.”

Kwate announced on Twitter that her new book “White Burgers, Black Cash: Fast Food from Black Exclusion to Exploitation” will drop in May 2023.”

<a href="https://womens-studies.rutgers.edu/faculty/core-faculty/572-cooper-brittney">Brittney Cooper</a> is an associate professor of Africana and Women’s and Gender Studies at Rutgers University. 

Much of her research and writing centers around the intersections of race, feminism, and gender. Cooper’s work has led to her to develop a number of bizarre opinions:

- While Cooper claims that most American Christians worship a God of “white supremacy and patriarchy,” she chooses to <a href="https://www.salon.com/2015/04/01/the_rights_made_up_god_how_bigots_invented_a_white_supremacist_jesus/">worship a Jesus that was “queer”</a> and “married to a prostitute.” 

- White families <a href="https://www.salon.com/2014/01/07/white_supremacy_wins_again_melissa_harris_perry_and_the_racial_false_equivalence/">can’t properly raise black children</a>.

- Linear time is a product of a Euro-centric world, or in short, <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/rutgers-professor-even-the-concept-of-time-is-racist/">our concept of time is racist.</a>

- A founding principle of our nation is that black people are inhuman, therefore <a href="https://www.salon.com/2015/04/29/black_americas_baltimore_schism_why_the_freddie_gray_tragedy_demands_serious_soul_searching/">riots are really just resistance </a>against an unjust system.   

- BREXIT was the result of <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=7760">white nationalism.</a>

- Obesity in the black community is <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=13866">caused by racism</a>.

Cooper has publicly attacked conservatives on multiple occasions, most recently during a live stream commentary on the DNC. Before launching into a tirade accusing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for “demolishing the civil rights movement,” Cooper explained <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15668">why American exceptionalism is a myth</a>; 
“I’m not here for the American Patriotism, American Exceptionalism Bulls***. All that stuff is propaganda, but as political theater it is amazing.” 
Cooper has attributed most of the deaths from the pandemic to racism and conservatives, stating that, “I feel like most Black people are clear that this utterly absurd push to re-open the country is all about a gross necropolitical calculation that it is Black people who are dying disproportionately from COVID,” and <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/rutgers-university-prof-reopening-the-country-is-about-killing-black-people/">blaming Trump supporters for the hundreds of thousands of deaths</a> due to the coronavirus.

Cooper has previously stated that a conservative’s beliefs are “rooted in racism.” In an appearance on MSNBC, <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/duncan-schroeder/2020/08/30/deranged-msnbc-pundit-goes-hateful-rant-against-trump-voters">Cooper stated that conservatives have a desire for power</a> at the expense of black and brown Americans. 

“...part of the challenge we have as a nation is that a significant swath of Americans still support Donald Trump. They support his vision of America. And that is rooted in racism. It is rooted in a desire for power at the expense of everyone who is black and brown…”

Cooper has denigrated conservatives and white people throughout her career. <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?444245-2/eloquent-rage&amp;playEvent">During a speech in Baltimore</a>, she stated that as white men lose their power, they will continue to “terrorize” black men and women. On a previous thread, she stated that the black community is being eaten alive by “capitalism, patriarchy, and racism,” and white people won’t feel any negative consequences of these systems so long as they can continue to displace white people through systems like gentrification. 

During an interview with The Root, Copper claimed that white people are committed to being “villians” and claimed, “We gotta take these MF’ers out.”

<a href="https://polisci.rutgers.edu/people/department-directory/details/1701-nikolalexander-floyd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikol Alexander-Floyd</a> is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University. According to her faculty page, “she teaches a range of courses on black feminism theory, black women’s political activism, and race, gender, media and the law.”

<a href="https://dailytargum.com/article/2022/12/rutgers-experts-discuss-record-number-of-women-elected-to-u-s-congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Targum</a> featured Alexander-Floyd’s comments on the number of women—and the lack of “women of color”—in Congress.

She also noted that “While women of color have more presence in the House of Representatives, there is not a single black woman senator." However, she failed to provide evidence or offer an explanation of whether black women traditionally seek such roles in politics.

“After much research and reflection, we have concluded that while imperfect, as we all are, Bernie Sanders, the politics he advocates, the consistent track record he demonstrates, and the powerful policy changes he has outlined, if elected, would make the most far-reaching and positive impact in the lives and conditions of black people, and all people in the United States…While we are not all democratic socialists, we will not be red-baited to reject and vilify [his] views.”

Alexander-Floyd authored several books including “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nationalism-Contemporary-Politics-Comparative-Feminist/dp/1403979669/ref=sr_1_1?crid=20VMCP0TY2PHX&amp;keywords=gender%2C+race%2C+and+nationalism+in+contemporary+black+politics&amp;qid=1691519244&amp;sprefix=gender%2C+race%2C+and+nationalism+in+contemporary+black+poli%2Caps%2C284&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender, Race, and Nationalism in Contemporary Black Politics</a>.” In the introduction, she wrote: 

“Of the works that are critical of black nationalism and show the weddedness of black nationalism to white mainstream politics, there is still a relative ambivalence about its relationship to gender politics. Tunde Adelieke, for instance, shows that although [19th] century black nationalists opposed white supremacy, they nevertheless not only adopted civilizationist ideas but also actively facilitated African colonization…”

Alexander-Floyd further discussed this book in a video published by the university. She defined the book as a “black culture pathology paradigm” and a “backlash against the social movements of the 1960s and 70s and how…discussions have taken place around black family break down.”

<a href="https://geography.rutgers.edu/people/faculty/faculty-member/974-roane-j-t" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.T. Roane</a> is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at Rutgers University. Roane’s faculty profile shows him on leave for the 2023-2024 academic year. His research interests include “black geographies,” “black ecologies,” “black gender and sexuality studies” and “African American and African Diaspora History.” Roane is also listed as a <a href="https://warrencenter.fas.harvard.edu/people/jt-roane" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faculty Fellow</a> at Harvard University’s Charles Warren Center.

In June 2023, <a href="https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-black-geography-of-the-city/">Boston Review</a> interviewed Roane about <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Agoras-Insurgent-Social-Politics/dp/1479847674/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21MANUVSI36NU&amp;keywords=dark+agoras&amp;qid=1699479018&amp;sprefix=dark+agoras%2Caps%2C154&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=B09X2GLKKH&amp;revisionId=fb4c3c45&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his book</a> “Dark Agoras: Insurgent Black Social Life and the Politics of Place” in which he “investigates the ways they transposed rural imaginaries about and practices of place as part of their spatial resistances and efforts to contour industrial neighborhoods.”

Roane introduced the book by stating:
“Dark <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=agoras+meaning&amp;rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS1021US1022&amp;oq=agoras+meaning&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyCQgAEEUYORiABDIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQABiABDIHCAMQABiABDIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIJCAYQABgKGIAEMg0IBxAuGMcBGNEDGIAEMgcICBAAGIAEMgkICRAAGAoYgATSAQkxNTU1MGowajeoAgCwAgA&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agoras</a> emerged under slavery through the active reinvention of African socialities and consciousnesses about place, identity, kinship, and belonging as the negation of the spatial and temporal features associated with domination and slave mastery…”
He goes on to state:
“Connections within the sites constituting dark agoras, as well as encounters across them and movement between them, underwrote a distinctive black working-class phenomenology of the city, the basis of what I term black queer urbanism…Black queer urbanism refers to a critical approach that views nonnormative forms of black social-geographic life…”
During the <a href="https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-black-geography-of-the-city/">Boston Review</a> interview, Roane responded to the question: “In your book, you argue that the stoop stands as one of the places that constitute the underground. How does this domestic exterior transform into a vital place for sociality?” Roane said:
“The stoop has a whole genealogy. The black uses of the stoop emerge out of the uses of the quarters in the context of the plantation…that was integrally related to their geographic position to the side of the major formation of the plantation—the big house—and to the spaces of labor, the field...
“When black communities get displaced during the Jim Crow enclosures…they don’t just relinquish those values.”
Roane was also featured in <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/watch-profs-discuss-spirituality-of-non-binary-vaginas-femme-penises-and-black-queer-religions/21679" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> after participating in the <a href="https://youtu.be/0A3ID6pPsCU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel discussion</a> “Black Queer Religions Afro-Indigenous &amp; New Religions.” Among the topics covered, panelists discussed “the reality of non-binary vaginas and biologically femme penises.”

Roane is an outspoken supporter of Palestine. After the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, he <a href="https://www.answercoalition.org/open_letter_harvard_palestine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed an open letter</a> defending pro-Hamas rallies at Harvard University. The letter states, 
“The case of Harvard University is only one of many examples of the attacks that those who express solidarity with the Palestinians struggle face; attacks that are rapidly escalating at this time. Likewise, violent hate crimes against Palestinians are taking place around the country.”
Roane posted on X, formerly known as Twitter—

<a href="https://law.rutgers.edu/directory/view/shawkins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stacy Hawkins</a> is a Professor of Law at Rutgers University. According to her profile, Hawkins “served on the Philadelphia Diversity Law Group and the Pennsylvania Bar Association Commission on Women in the Profession Diversity Task Force.” 

On March 26, 2024, Hawkins was featured in a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/rutgers-university-professor-without-dei-offices-there-no-ability-make-meaningful-progress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News article</a> titled “Rutgers University professor says without DEI offices, there is ‘no ability to make meaningful progress.’” The source said Hawkins participated in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gh2ynXTe3I" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discussion panel hosted by Harvard University</a> to evaluate the role of DEI on campus. Fox noted that Hawkins was the only panelist to “defend DEI imperatives.”

During the panel discussion, Hawkins justified DEI on campus by stating:
“I’m a scholar and I do believe in the scholarly methods with analytical and empirical rigor. But I am also an unabashed proponent of diversity. And whether you call it diversity, which I do, as a shorthand for diversity, equity, and inclusion — sometimes also including ‘belonging’ — I do think that it is a rather unassailable, aspirational principle for us in this country.”
Hawkins continued:
“The reason why I think that is, is because it is really consonant with some very foundational values that we have in our country and as part of our democracy — and those are pluralism and equality. Those are really the underlying motivations for why we aspire to and we seek to achieve diversity.”
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3530 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/pwl-7-e1711638820869-1024x759.png" alt="" width="640" height="474" />

In October 2022, Hawkins participated in a <a href="https://newsone.com/4436920/rutgers-law-professor-stacy-hawkins-explains-supreme-court-affirmative-action-case/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Q&amp;A hosted by Newsone</a> to comment on the racial discrimination cases against Harvard that would eventually lead to SCOTUS overturning federal affirmative action laws in <a href="https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/newsupdates/2023/08/us-supreme-court-ends-affirmative-action-in-higher-education--an-overview-and-practical-next-steps#:~:text=On%20June%2029%2C%202023%2C%20the,Carolina%20(UNC)%2C%20Nos." target="_blank" rel="noopener">June 2023</a>.  
According to the transcript, Hawkins was asked, “What is the implication for higher education?” She responded:
“It depends on whether the Court does what many expect it to do, which overrules longstanding precedent and says that colleges and universities may not consider race or ethnicity in admission — even if it is necessary to achieve diversity … Valuing and promoting diversity has become such an integral part of how many colleges and universities pursue their educational missions that it would require a fundamental change in how those [institutions] operate.”
Later in the interview, Hawkins pointed to the overturning of Roe v. Wade and stated that the “current conservative majority on the Court has demonstrated a willingness to unsettle even the most deeply settled legal precedents.” She also claimed that Justices Roberts, Thomas, and Alito had “already expressed hostility to the use of race and ethnicity in college and university admissions.”

In February 2024, Hawkins joined a virtual <a href="https://fedsoc.org/events/race-at-work-can-businesses-treat-people-differently-on-the-basis-of-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discussion held by The Federalist Society</a> called “Race At Work.” Hawkins said:
“Affirmative action is not just remedial, but it involves explicit, expressed, and admitted considerations of race or gender in decision-making … That’s not how diversity works. Not only is it not remedial, it also need not and most often does not involve any explicit considerations of race or gender in decision-making — which is the reason why it is highly defensible …
“An employee who is challenging a diversity program has to prove that the employer is lying about the fact that while they might care about diversity, they did not explicitly make a decision on the basis solely of race. That’s not how diversity works.”

<a href="https://rcha.rutgers.edu/maya-mikdashi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maya Mikdashi</a> is a Faculty Fellow and Assistant Professor in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at Rutgers University. According to her profile, Mikdashi’s research “focuses on law, citizenship, secularity, religious conversion, sexual difference, and the war on terror.”

On March 30, 2024, Maya Mikdashi was <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13256133/Maya-Mikdashi-Rutgers-University-Israel-Hamas-violent-LGBT-treatment-Gaza.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in an article</a> titled “Bizarre moment Rutgers gender study professor tells seminar that it’s ‘homophobic and violent’ to flag how badly LGBT people are treated in Gaza.” The Daily Mail said, “[Mikdashi] … told students earlier this month that she has been approached by people at pro-Palestine protests who tell her that she would be treated horribly by Hamas.”

Mikdashi reportedly stated, “So, I’ve been at protests where I’m then told ‘don’t you know what Hamas would do to you, if you were in Palestine[?]’ … We have to start naming this as homophobic. You cannot rehearse violence to queer people. It’s violent.”

<a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/rutgers-professor-lgbtq-palestine-homophobic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blaze Media wrote</a>, “Mikdashi has absolutely no issue with bashing the United States for transphobia and a slew of other issues … However, Mikdashi will devotedly defend Hamas against anyone who points out the fact that Palestine is fanatically against LGBTQ rights.”

The Hamas terrorist organization <a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-790635" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is known</a> to publicly humiliate, torture, and murder those who identify as LGBTQ. 

Press coverage came after Mikdashi joined a <a href="https://youtu.be/P62E9was7G4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rutgers panel discussion</a> called “Palestine is a Feminist and Queer Anti-Imperialist Abolition Struggle.” She opened the talk by stating:
“It’s been 166 days of absolute warfare, siege [inaudible] genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza … We’re here for about two hours … and in that time, about four to five Palestinians will be killed by the hour. So, about six will be dead by the end of today … We are witnessing a manmade famine that will only accelerate … with the scale of violence, and reckoning with the complicity of the United States, which is where we are today — and the reality that this is an American war, an American genocide … I feel helpless and I feel hollow almost everyday.”

<a href="https://law.rutgers.edu/directory/view/8277">Sahar Aziz</a> is a Distinguished Professor of Law and a Chancellor’s Social Justice Scholar at Rutgers University. Her faculty profile says, “[Aziz]’s scholarship examines the intersection of national security, race, religion, and civil rights with a focus on the adverse impact of national security laws and policies on racial, religious, and ethnic minorities.”

<a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520382299/the-racial-muslim" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In her book</a> “The Racial Muslim: When Racism Quashes Religious Freedom,” Aziz allegedly “demonstrates how race and religion intersect to create what she calls the Racial Muslim [by] [c]omparing discrimination against immigrant Muslims with the prejudicial treatment of Jews, Catholics, Mormons, and African American Muslims during the twentieth century.” The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Racial-Muslim-Quashes-Religious-Freedom/dp/0520382293?asin=0520382293&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduction</a> says:
“[Aziz] … masterfully demonstrates that while 9/11 is a critical historical juncture in the racialization of Muslims, a comprehensive understanding of the extent to which anti-Muslim racism is rooted in American society requires an awareness of the often-overlooked deep historical roots of Anglo-Saxon Protestant nativism and [w]hite supremacy.”
On her <a href="https://twitter.com/saharazizlaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>, Aziz advertised an article from the Rutgers Center for Security, Race and Rights (<a href="https://csrr.rutgers.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RCSRR)</a>, for which she serves as the director:

The article says:
“While people of all faiths and ethnicities understand and empathize with the historic plight of the Palestinians, nowhere is pro-Israel bias more obvious than when directed against Muslim and Arab defenders of Palestinian human rights … Even U.S. domestic laws are flouted in order to craft human rights exceptions for the apartheid Israeli regime.”

<a href="https://gse.rutgers.edu/faculty/melinda-m-mangin-phd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Melinda Mangin</a> is a Professor in the Department of Educational Theory, Policy, and Administration at Rutgers University. According to her faculty profile, “Mangin’s scholarly interests fall into two primary categories: teacher leadership and inclusive schools for transgender people.”

During a 2023 interview with <a href="https://www.gse.harvard.edu/ideas/edcast/23/03/creating-trans-inclusive-schools" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard EdCast</a>, Mangin discussed her view that gender is not binary and how schools fail to affirm this for students. According to Mangin, gender is a journey that kids should be able to explore:

“We want all our kids to be able to go to school and just be themselves, and enjoy school, and have a good day. When you talk to parents, they just want their kids to be happy. And we know that gender's not a binary. So when schools are places where we don't recognize the diversity of genders that our kids bring, they become places where our kids aren't affirmed. And so we want kids to be able to explore who they are, explore learning. Gender's a journey. It's a learning journey to figure out who you are. And so we want schools to be inclusive of that journey for all of our kids.” 

In 2022, Mangin and Mario I. Suarez co-wrote a book titled  “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Trans_Studies_in_K_12_Education/IDehEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;pg=PT7&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trans Studies in K-12 Education</a>.” The publisher describes the books as a “vital inquiry into trans issues in education”:  

“[T]his compelling work argues for the design of education research, policies, and environments that honor all gender experiences and identities… The collection offers a comprehensive examination of how gender is manifested in the educational context.”

The authors claim that gender manifests itself among students through the traditional divisions placed between boys and girls within the school setting. This reinforces cisnormative ideals (which the authors find harmful to “non-binary” students):

They further claim that K-12 schools are “cisnormative” spaces. This allegedly began with the “colonization of the Americas” and the treatment of Indigenous people by the U.S. and Canada:

The University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin) launched a new LGBTQ course in Fall 2024. “<a href="https://texasscorecard.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/ut-austin-syl_wgs303_fall2024_sahinler-redacted.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Introduction to LGBT Studies</a>,” taught by <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/ibeksahinler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Ipek Sahinler</a>, features assigned reading that promotes the sexualization of minors. The course description states:
“This course offers students an intersectional perspective on LGBTQ+ studies, encompassing key theoretical, historical, and methodological approaches. Students will gain foundational skills in theory, history, and research methods, investigating the social construction of sexual identity and its interplay with [race], class, religion, and nationality.”
Learning outcomes for the course include, but are not limited to:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Demonstrate a strong understanding of LGBTQ+ studies and its historical context–both locally and globally,” </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Demonstrate how gender intersects with race, class, ability, and other social constructs,” and </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Use and produce language to go beyond binaristic ways of thinking.”</li>
</ul>
Required reading includes a <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=o0CRAgAAQBAJ&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;dq=The+Routledge+Queer+Studies+Reader&amp;hl=en&amp;newbks=1&amp;newbks_redir=0&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj05vjAiJGKAxXsI0QIHdXgDMgQ6AF6BAgEEAI#v=onepage&amp;q=The%20Routledge%20Queer%20Studies%20Reader&amp;f=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collection of essays</a> called “The Routledge Queer Studies Reader” with multiple contributing authors. The introduction says the book pays “homage to the publication nearly twenty years previous, The Routledge Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader.” 
In chapter one—entitled “Queer and Now”—the author leads a discussion on teen suicide among those who profess to be gay or lesbian by declaring:
“I look at my adult friends and colleagues doing lesbian and gay work, and I feel that the survival of each one is a miracle… How to tell kids who are supposed never to learn this, that, farther along, the road widens and the air brightens; that in the big world there are worlds where it’s plausible, our demand to get used to it.”
The “Introduction to LGBT Studies” is only one hyper-sexualized course among several undergraduate credit hours available to students in the <a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/wgss/courses/lgbtq-studies.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LGBT Studies</a> and Women’s, <a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/lgbtq/undergraduate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender and Sexuality Studies</a> programs.

<a href="https://education.utexas.edu/faculty/jennifer_adair">Dr. Jennifer Adair</a> is an Associate Professor at the University of Texas, Austin. Dr. Adair proposed indoctrinating children as young as kindergarten in racial issues, in order to ‘prevent another Ferguson.' One proposed project involved having the students make protest signs about racial injustice or other art projects about school integration or bus boycotts. Adair and the other professors working with her drew heavily from the philosophy of historian Howard Zinn in their effort.

<a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/history/faculty/jn324" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Joan Neuberger</a>, a professor at University of Texas-Austin led anti-campus carry efforts, including a petition to bar students who conceal carry from entering classrooms, in violation of Texas law. A change.org petition organized by the same group said, “WE OPPOSE GUNS IN OUR CLASSROOMS AS A DIRECT ASSAULT ON OUR FREE SPEECH RIGHTS.” Despite her proclamations about the dangers of guns, Neuberger is not actually a statistician or criminal justice professor, but a Russian history professor.

<a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/rs/faculty/jt27">John Traphagan</a> is a Professor Emeritus in the Religious Studies Program at The University of Texas at Austin.

In 2015, Traphagan wrote an opinion piece for <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20151014135802/http://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/latest-columns/20150518-john-traphagan-when-will-we-examine-our-heavily-armed-culture.ece">The Dallas Morning News</a> titled “When will we examine our heavily armed culture?” In his article, Traphagan calls for gun control measures and says “Americans do not seem to be able to handle gun ownership in a way that permits maintenance of a civil society.” He writes:
“There is simply no need for a civilized society to tolerate the type of gun-related violence that Americans seem to accept as normal. Other modern industrial countries have realized, in some cases long ago, that it is unnecessary for people in a free society to have easy access to guns.” 
Traphagan claims “the solution to gun-related crime is not further arming the public.” Rather, he argues:
“It involves enacting comprehensive gun control laws that prohibit many forms of gun ownership, significantly curtailing or eliminating access to and the ability to purchase guns, and implementing programs in which the government confiscates or purchases illegal guns already in circulation among the public.” 
Furthermore, Traphagan claims that “Americans need to recognize that one of the greatest threats to national security is their own heavily armed population.” To fix this problem, he writes, “Unfortunately, our proven inability to handle widespread gun ownership suggests strongly that the way to do this is to deeply restrict access to and ownership of most types of guns.”

He concludes his article by saying that people would be better off in a society with no guns because they would have “peace of mind and experience freedom from violence and the freedom to pursue their lives in safety and happiness rather than fear.”

<a href="http://journalism.utexas.edu/faculty/robert-jensen">Dr. Robert Jensen</a> is a Professor of Journalism at the University of Texas, Austin. In an essay on a social justice website, Jensen argued that rape is part of the larger violent, patriarchy. He told Campus Reform that, “I don’t believe there will be any serious progress toward eliminating men’s violence against women if we do not address the toxic notions about masculinity in patriarchy—masculinity understood as rooted in control, conquest, aggression.” Jensen also attacked a major anti-sexual assault group for blaming the perpetrators for rape, instead of focusing on the patriarchal culture as the main cause.

<a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/english/faculty/sas347">Snehal Shingavi</a> is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Texas, Austin.

While teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, Shingavi co-founded the anti-Israel group <a href="https://canarymission.org/organization/sjp">Students for Justice in Palestine</a> (SJP) with Professor Hatem Bazian.  SJP is known for its vitriolic campaigns and aggressively confronting Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus. They are also known for their active role in Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns on university campuses.

Snehal first generated controversy at UC Berkeley in 2002 for his <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/7789/hardball-interview-with-snehal-shingavi">course</a>, "The Politics and Poetics of Palestinian Resistance." The course description alleged that Israel has “systematically displaced, killed and maimed millions of Palestinian people.”

The course also all, but outright barred conservative students from attending: “This class takes as its starting point the right of Palestinians to fight for their own self-determination. Conservative thinkers are encouraged to seek other sections.”

Now teaching at UT Austin, <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Snehal_Shingavi">Shehal</a> is a regular at protests and events committed to demonizing Israel. During a 2014 lecture, he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAGtcdPL244&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=13m15s">likened</a> Israel to Nazi Germany, claiming, “This is not me being hyperbolic…..Gaza is the biggest open air concentration camp in the world today and the condition of life in Gaza is not dissimilar to life in Auschwitz and Dachau.”

Thomas K. Hubbard was the James R. Dougherty Jr. Centennial Professor of Classics, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190905194331/https://minio.la.utexas.edu/colaweb-prod/person_files/0/354/thomas_k_hubbard_curriculum_vitae.pdf">who taught at the University of Texas-Austin from 1988 t0 2021</a>. Hubbard’s body of research included ancient pederasty – adult male sexual relations with underage boys  – which Hubbard calls the “<a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2019/12/17/ut-students-protest-professors-house-over-his-writings-on-sexual-relations-between-men-and-boys/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">romantic courtship</a>” of teenage boys by older men.

Writing in the peer-reviewed Thymos Journal of Boyhood Studies, Hubbard detailed this position in an article titled, <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/276216200_Sexual_Consent_and_the_Adolescent_Male_or_What_Can_We_Learn_from_the_Greeks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sexual Consent and the Adolescent Male, or What Can We Learn From the Greeks</a>. Hubbard <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/editorials/2019/12/18/a-ut-professor-advocates-pedophilia-why-are-we-paying-for-it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims</a> that there are great benefits to relationships between older men and teenage boys by appealing to the portrayal of these relationships in Greek artworks and myths.

Hubbard utilizes his research on pederasty to buoy his advocacy for lowering the federal legal age for sexual consent. Hubbard also <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2019/12/17/ut-students-protest-professors-house-over-his-writings-on-sexual-relations-between-men-and-boys/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decries age-of-consent laws</a>, calling them a “sad by-product” of the Victorian era that prevented sexual liberation.

Hubbard made the distinction, in a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200216112913if_/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wGGrODNSdwudrF1G4uerU2DsRxcSx3DR1Nbn6JOd7ho/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now-deleted google document</a>, that he was speaking on behalf of pederasty and not pedophilia. He continues in the Doc by extolling several nations for having age-of-consent laws that were lower than the United States.

Hubbard’s work has been distributed and used by <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2019/12/17/ut-students-protest-professors-house-over-his-writings-on-sexual-relations-between-men-and-boys/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">groups like the North American Man/Boy Love Association</a> (NAMBLA), which advocates for the abolishment of age-of-consent laws between children and adults.

The University of Texas-Austin’s administration reaffirmed Hibbard’s right to <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/students-want-thomas-hubbard-fired-for-work-on-pederasty-but-university-of-texas-says-its-protected-speech" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“explore controversial and offensive ideas</a>.” As of December 2020, <a href="https://www.statesman.com/story/news/education/2020/07/23/ut-professor-accused-of-promoting-pedophilia-sues-student-for-libel/42515639/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hubbard is suing a student and 10 others for libel</a> after they distributed flyers labeling him a pedophile.
UPDATE 
A university spokeswoman has informed the Professor Watchlist team that Thomas Hubbard is no longer employed at the University of Texas. As stated in their response, Dr. Hubbard announced his retirement in July of 2021 and is no longer associated with the University in any capacity.

Despite their written statement, <a href="https://cola.utexas.edu/european_studies/people/faculty/thubbard">Dr. Hubbard was still listed on the university website</a> as a professor in the Center for European Studies at the time of the university's letter

In a follow-up conversation with the university spokeswomen, Dr. Hubbard's profile was removed from the European Studies page and he is no longer listed as a faculty member with the University as of December 15th, 2021.

John O. Brennan is a <a href="https://intelligencestudies.utexas.edu/about/leadership" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Distinguished Scholar</a> and <a href="https://www.strausscenter.org/person/john-o-brennan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senior Advisor to the Intelligence Studies Project</a> at the <a href="https://www.utexas.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Texas-Austin</a>. Brennan also serves as a <a href="https://www.centeronnationalsecurity.org/fellows#john-o-brennan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Distinguished Fellow for Global Security</a> for the Center on National Security at <a href="https://www.fordham.edu/site/index.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fordham University</a>.

Prior to both roles, Brennan served as the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/John-Brennan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Director of The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) </a>from 2013 to 2017. His service and post-CIA career have been marred with controversies, including allegations of spying on political opponents, overseas clandestine operations, and incendiary comments towards conservatives and libertarians.

In 2014, the CIA was <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2014/03/11/289085076/feinsteins-cia-outrage-splits-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused by California Senator Dianne Feinstein of illegally accessing the computers of Senate staffers</a> investigating the use of “enhanced interrogation” against detainees. <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2014/03/brennan-denies-claims-cia-hacked-senate-computers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brennan initially denied the allegations</a>, stating that, “Nothing could be further from the truth.” Brennan was later forced to apologize when an Inspector General report found that <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/213933-cia-admits-to-wrongly-hacking-into-senate-computers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate computers were in fact “hacked” by CIA officials</a>.

Brennan has been accused of arming radical Islamists during the Syrian Civil War. As The American Conservative documents, <a href="https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/how-america-armed-terrorists-in-syria/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The CIA—under Brennan's direction—played a significant role in supplying deadly weapons to al-Qaeda affiliates</a> in an attempt to topple the Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad.

In his final years as CIA director, Brennan played a prominent role in what later became known as “Russiagate.” During the 2016 general election, intelligence agencies attempted to determine whether or not then-presidential candidate Donald Trump coordinated with the Russian Government to <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/288883-wikileaks-posts-20000-dnc-emails" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hack and release sensitive emails from the Democratic National Committee</a>. Special Counsel Robert Mueller later found that there was <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/mueller-report-found-no-evidence-of-trump-russia-collusion-justice-dept/a-48046468" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence of any coordination between the Trump Campaign and the Russian Government</a>.

While investigating Trump, John Brennan relied on allegations in what became known as the “Steele Dossier”— <a href="https://www.npr.org/2017/08/23/545289362/researcher-behind-unverified-trump-dossier-meets-senate-investigators" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a series of salacious allegations and potentially compromising information against Donald Trump</a> — compiled by British Intelligence agent Christopher Steele. The <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/09/steeles-dossier-source-was-a-suspected-russian-spy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">source for the dossier was later found to be a suspected Russian Spy,</a> who likely <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/453384-fbis-spreadsheet-puts-a-stake-through-the-heart-of-steeles-dossier" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exaggerated or falsified his information</a>.

Despite <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/442944-fbis-steele-story-falls-apart-false-intel-and-media-contacts-were-flagged" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agents flagging the information as false</a>, the Steele Dossier was later used as the basis to <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2019/12/09/ig-report-confirms-no-fisa-warrant-on-carter-page-without-steele-dossier/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">obtain warrants to surveil members of the Trump campaign</a>. Initially pushing to include the information, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2019/12/09/brennan-lied-about-not-including-steele-dossier-in-intelligence-community-assessment-on-2016-russian-election-interference/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brennan later lied under congressional oath, stating he did not include the Steele Dossier in intelligence briefings</a>.

Declassified, handwritten notes from Brennan further show that he assisted in <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/dni-releases-cia-documents-hillary-204337457.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">efforts to tie the Trump campaign to Russia</a> to benefit the Hillary Clinton campaign. This is consistent with testimony accusing <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2020/05/12/fox-news-john-brennan-russia-hillary-clinton/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brennan of suppressing intelligence that the Russian Government wanted Hillary Clinton to win</a> the 2016 presidential election.

Brennan continued to publically attack President Trump after the 2016 election, accusing <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/08/19/brennan_on_sunday_i_stand_by_accusing_president_trump_of_treason.html#!" target="_blank" rel="noopener">him of “treason” against the United States on behalf of Russia</a>. Brennan <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2017/05/25/ex-cia-director-john-brennan-ive-seen-no-evidence-collusion-russia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admits that he has seen no evidence that Donald Trump colluded</a> with the Russian government to win the 2016 election.

Following the Capital Hill riots, John Brennan <a href="https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1352007118392582148?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1352007118392582148%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwearechange.org%2Feven-libertarians-john-brennan-issues-list-of-ideologies-biden-intel-community-should-go-after%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has described libertarians as terrorists and white supremacists</a>.

On his personal Twitter account, Brennan demands that conservatives need to publically recant their support of Donald Trump and admit that it was wrong to support the President of the United States.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Anyone now seeking national redemption by claiming to no longer support Trump must acknowledge how wrong it was to ignore &amp; enable his corrupt, dishonest, &amp; divisive agenda.
Total denunciation of a despot’s legacy is necessary to eradicate any remaining malignancy.

Brennan has admitted in the past that he voted for the Communist Party in past elections. According to CNN, Brennan <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2016/09/15/politics/john-brennan-cia-communist-vote/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recounts</a> that he admitted to voting for the Communist Party Candidate, Gus Hall, in the 1976 general election. Brennan is reported <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2016/09/15/politics/john-brennan-cia-communist-vote/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stating</a> that voting for Hall was his way of “signaling his unhappiness of the system.”

As The Spectator <a href="https://spectator.org/john-brennans-president-remembering-comrade-gus-hall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a>, Gus Hall was a four-time presidential candidate and leader of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). Throughout his career, Hall defended atrocities committed by the Soviet Union while secretly receiving tens of millions of dollars from the Kremlin.

Dr. Kevin Cokley is the <a href="https://education.utexas.edu/faculty/kevin_cokley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department Chair of the Department of Educational Psychology</a> as well as a Professor of African American Diaspora Studies and Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas - Austin. He is a Distinguished Teaching Professor and is published in many outlets, including Journal of Black Psychology, The Huffington Post, and The Hill. Dr. Cokley has taught many courses, some of which are Psychology of African American Experience and Multicultural Counseling.

Dr. Cokley is very openly pro-critical race theory. <a href="https://www.courierpress.com/story/opinion/2021/07/15/viewpoint-teaching-critical-race-theory-patriotic-not-anti-american/7982099002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an opinion piece for Courier &amp; Press</a>, Dr. Cokley claims that critical race theory is actually patriotic. He accuses conservatives of pushing a false narrative about critical race theory by claiming it’s “divisive, hostile, and anti-American… and teaches kids to hate each other” which is a “politicized misrepresentation.”

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1841" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-19-at-9.24.38-AM.png" alt="" width="453" height="144" />

Later in the article, Dr. Cokley makes the claim that the first line of the U.S. Constitution, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union…” suggests that even our founders believed America is a work-in progress. According to him, critical race theory reminds us that this is still very true.

Dr. Cokley <a href="https://redstate.com/alexparker/2021/07/09/usa-today-runs-pro-critical-race-theory-piece-professor-says-crts-not-divisive-or-anti-american-n408847" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defines critical race theory</a> as an idea “which posits that racism is not simply acts of individual bias or prejudice, but rather is embedded in institutions, policies and legal systems.” While he states he has never explicitly taught critical race theory, he does teach ideas consistent with critical race theory by providing students with examples of how Black inferiority and racism are deeply woven into modern school practices. He asserts that conservatives who are against critical race theory are wanting to prevent any type of discussion around racism or putting America in a negative light. Dr. Cokley argues that there is nothing anti-American about acknowledging the fact that racism is woven into the fabric of the United States.

In June of 2021, Dr. Cokley appeared on a <a href="https://www.fox7austin.com/video/690219" target="_blank" rel="noopener">segment for Fox 7 News Austin</a> discussing racial injustices. The video shows violent riots after the death of George Floyd while Dr. Cokley justifies this behavior because of racial injustice in America.

A few statements from the publication are attached below:

“Rather than asserting one shared definition of critical mathematics pedagogy, we read widely and discuss a range of theory and approaches… Readings have focused on critical pedagogy, culturally relevant, responsive, and sustaining pedagogies, math for social justice, racial justice, gender equity, the involvement of families and communities in classrooms, and questions of equity in mathematics more broadly.”

“Concerns about mathematics education quality in the United States tend to be oriented toward access to participation and success in a fast-paced, rapidly technologizing capitalist economy (National Commission on Excellence in Education, 1983; National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2014).”

Harvard Educational Review, 82(3), 403–424: “In the case of this study, the subjective constructs of race are the ways in which issues of race and racism are rendered in the Texas standards… Racism plays out in schools through the context of unequal and oppressive social relationships among different racial groups (Omi &amp; Winant, 1994). For example, CRT scholars (e.g., Lopez, 2003) suggest that racially neutral macro-level educational laws and policies may dis-guise the salience and impact of racism in schools.” (407). “This is of particular concern because, as scholars note, White, middle-class teachers—who make up the majority of practicing and preparing teachers in the United States (Sleeter, 2008)—often resist addressing the topic of race and racism, a phenomenon related to their privileged and racially isolated social location (Brown &amp; Brown, 2010a; Epstein, 2009).” (420).</li>

The authors propose the framework of economies of racism to make sense of the complex unity that brings white supremacy and capitalist accumulation together in a single dialectic.”</li>

<a href="https://education.utexas.edu/faculty/noah_de_lissovoy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Noah De Lissovoy</a> is a Professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at The University of Texas - Austin.

Professor De Lissovoy's research focuses on critical and emancipatory approaches to pedagogy, curriculum, and cultural studies. His interests are based on problems posed to educators by globalization and the intersecting effects of race, class, and capital in schools and society. Additionally, developing the theoretical resources for social movements and extending and rethinking the traditions of critical pedagogy and philosophy. 

According to <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2016/10/12/q-noah-de-lissovoy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Texas Tribune</a>, De Lissovoy participated in a Q&amp;A regarding his book: <a href="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1057/9781137375315" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Education and Emancipation in the Neoliberal Era</a>. This book “describes how neoliberalism as societal philosophy works to limit human potential in our school systems. Analyzing contemporary school reform and control, punishment, and pathologization in schools, this book outlines a theory of emancipation and a process by which pedagogy can build solidarity in classrooms and society more broadly.” 

“How does neo-liberalism limit potentials in schools?” 

De Lissovoy states: “It frames learning as an individual process, rather than a social and democratic process. In neo-liberalism, students are trained to understand themselves as in competition, always, with those around them and that their job is to advance themselves and to develop their own human capital and stock of skills against everyone else... It also limits potential because it reduces our collective understanding of what it means to teach and learn to those kinds of activities and understandings that can’t be measured by multiple-choice tests and standardized tests…”

&nbsp;
Professor De Lissovoy has authored many books, such as: 

<ul>

De Lissovoy exposes a logic of violation at the heart of capitalist accumulation and argues that we need to attend to ontological and epistemological orders of domination within which subjectivity takes shape. Systematically bridging the theoretical traditions of Marxism, Latin American decolonial thought, and critical pedagogy, De Lissovoy shows how a new critical imaginary can reorder curriculum in schools…”</li>

In an email obtained by <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/ut-austin-research-program-teaches-white-4-year-olds-about-anti-black-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a>, Kate Pounders and two other professors announced a study to learn how young children hold racist beliefs and attitudes. The endeavor is officially titled <a href="https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eqZcrUWQ1Sc7rDM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GOKAR!</a>, which stands for, “Kids Against Racism.” 

The letter states the researchers are interested in studying children who are 4-5 years of age and have not started kindergarten. The qualifications for applicants stipulate the “child and caregiver must both self-identify as white.” 

The program will gauge how caregivers may reduce racial bias and increase awareness around racism after engaging in dialogue about “anti-black racism” with children at home.

They discussed how “quare is a derivative of queer;” and one speaker noted that the term quare means “to be black, queer, and religious in various ways.”

In regards to "quare’s etymology," Gill stated that it is a “regional vernacular redeployment of 'queer' in a North Carolinian, African American tongue of a certain generation.” Additionally, he noted how the words are “shades of each other” such as the colors “lavender and purple.” Quare “reminds us to resist the tempting universalizing impulse of 'queer.'"

<a href="https://law.utexas.edu/faculty/stephen-i-vladeck" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Vladeck</a> is a Professor in the School of Law at the University of Texas at Austin (UTA). Vladeck holds the Charles Alan Wright Chair in Federal Courts at UTA and is “a nationally recognized expert on the federal courts, constitutional law, national law, and military justice.”

On February 12, 2024, Vladeck <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/02/12/1230835881/texas-law-professor-says-influx-of-migrants-doesnt-meet-the-definition-of-invasi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">participated in an interview</a> on KJZZ 91.5 titled “Texas law professor says influx of migrants doesn’t meet the definition of invasion.” According to the interview transcript, Vladeck described Texas authorities’ southern border security efforts as a “sort of slow escalation of first supplementing federal authority and increasingly trying to supplant it.”

When asked if border policies were the “federal government’s business,” Vladeck stated:
“[T]hat’s the basic argument, and it’s the one that has a lot of support in decades of Supreme Court jurisprudence. I mean, for better or for worse, immigration policy is the job of the federal government, not the states. [I]t really wouldn’t make a lot of sense if Texas and New Mexico and Arizona and California could all have different policies about how to police the U.S.-Mexico border. If it comes down to a policy dispute between the states and the federal government, it’s pretty clear who’s supposed to win those.”

In January, <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2024/01/22/texas-border-supreme-court-immigration/">The Texas Tribune</a> reported that the order from SCOTUS to allow federal border agents access to the Texas-Mexico border “did not explain [the] justices’ decision.” The source said, “For now, it effectively upholds longstanding court rulings that the Constitution gives the federal government sole responsibility for border security.”

However, the <a href="https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt4-6-6-3/ALDE_00000239/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution</a>—which grants the “right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable search and seizures” —does not permit immigrants to illegally enter the United States. The Amendment further states, “Under the ‘border search exception,’ federal officers may generally conduct routine warrantless searches of persons and items entering the United States without reasonable suspicion or probable cause of unlawful activity.”

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/topics/border-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> states, “Protecting our borders from the illicit movement of weapons, drugs, contraband, and people, while promoting lawful entry and exit, and lawful trade, is essential to homeland security, economic prosperity, and national sovereignty.” DHS’s explanation under “<a href="https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-101" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Presumption of Lawful Admission</a>” does not clarify the current southern border crisis—namely, human smuggling and trafficking as well as the <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/rodas-testimony.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exploitation and disappearance of reportedly 85,000 minor children</a>.

“[T]here’s plenty of evidence from founding-era sources…that an invasion meant [an] armed attack by an organized party. But migrants crossing the border without authorization—that’s just never been understood to meet that definition. But even if it did, even the folks who don’t find that persuasive, the authority of the Constitution grants to states in circumstances in which they are…‘actually involved’...to defend themselves until the federal government is able to show up.”

<a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/mals/faculty/kc32638" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karma Chávez</a> is Chair and Professor in the Department of Mexican American and Latino Studies at the University of Texas, Austin (UTA). Her interests include “social movements, queer of color critique, abolition, rhetoric, and coalitions.” In her faculty profile, Chávez states:
“My scholarship is primarily informed by queer of color theory and women of color feminism. Methodologically, I am a rhetorical critic who utilizes textual and field-based methods. I am interested in studying social movement building, activist rhetoric, and coalition politics.” 
In 2019, Chávez published “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Palestine_on_the_Air/yqG0DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=palestine+on+the+air&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Palestine on the Air</a>,” a book comprised of interviews she conducted among residents of Gaza. Chávez’s <a href="https://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/?id=p084850" target="_blank" rel="noopener">publisher</a>, the University of Illinois Press, said:
“Few doubt the pro-Israel bias of the Western media. It takes the form of overtly supporting Israel’s government policies, or of maintaining neutrality or silence on issues of Israeli violence, occupation, and settlement expansion. Scholar and activist [Chávez] collects eleven interviews that allow dissenting voices a forum to provide rarely heard perspectives on the Palestinian struggle for justice, land, and self-determination.”
In the book introduction, Chávez writes:
“A U.S. audience remains important in conversations about Palestine, not just so that people will make conceptual connections like ‘their walls are our walls,’ although such basic links are valuable. Instead, a U.S. audience is important because the United States is so deeply implicated in the ongoing occupation and apartheid conditions of Palestine/Israel.”
In an undated publication, Masters in Communication <a href="https://www.mastersincommunications.com/scholarly-interviews/dr-karma-chavez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interviewed</a> Chávez about statements she made in her book “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Borders_of_AIDS/Gwo1EAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Borders of Aids: Race, Quarantine and Resistance</a>.” The transcript shows Chávez was asked, “How do you view the alienating rhetoric surrounding HIV/AIDS that you trace [in your book] as relevant to understanding the current COVID-19 pandemic?” She responded:

<a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/aads/faculty/ba25332" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bedour Alagraa</a> is an Assistant Professor of Political and Social Thought at the University of Texas at Austin. According to Alagraa’s faculty profile, she is a self-described ‘wayward political theorist’ with primary interests in “Political theory, Caribbean political thought, Black Marxism(s), [and] African anti-colonial thought.”

Alagraa—a contributing author for ROAR Magazine—wrote two pieces covering the “black struggle” of the Sudanese and the liberation of black Americans. Alagraa penned an <a href="https://roarmag.org/essays/now-is-the-time-black-struggle-from-sudan-to-the-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion editorial</a> titled “Now is the time: Black struggle from Sudan to the US” in which she called on readers to “reflect on the radical movements” like the George Floyd riots. 

While comparing the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g2EapP_sQ09FTDSVPdAA8YI_RieflH6n/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">legitimate oppression</a> of Sudanese people and the 2018 political uprisings to alleged racism issues in 2020 America, Alagraa stated:

“The purpose here is not to conflate the struggles of the Sudanese people with other struggles…The point, rather, is to understand how [b]lack struggles globally are co-constitutive and kindred. This moment demands that we draw lessons and motivation from one another, and recognize that local ecologies of struggle hold the keys to a transnational and anti-national understanding of liberation.”

In her <a href="https://roarmag.org/magazine/pendulum-swing-black-liberation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">piece</a> titled “The Pendulum Swing of Black Liberation,” Alagraa further claimed:

“This piece focused on the activation of struggles, and less so on the reality that each movement for liberation was met with a deepening repression and political conservatism…Black people’s struggles have never been limited to ‘inter’ or ‘between’ nations, but oftentimes rather against, with total disregard for, the nation or the nation-state.”

The description of Alagraa’s undergraduate course “<a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/aads/faculty/ba25332" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Political Thought</a>” says, in part:

“Black political reflection is constituted by a distinctive and ongoing preoccupation with freedom. Conceived and practiced in and/or against the political evils of slavery, segregation, racial terror, and mass incarceration, these reflections rank among political theory’s most acute treatments of freedom and domination.”

<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Black Studies Theory” — Parts I of this course answer questions such as “What is race?” “What is blackness?” and “What is the relationship of slavery to capitalism, empire, war, and democracy?” Part II supposedly covers “[a]n in-depth exploration of…African diaspora social structures and cultural traditions.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Alienation and Freedom” — summarized a seminar “which focuses on the problem of alienation as a predicament for [b]lack radical anticolonal[sic] thought and politics.”</li>

<a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/complit/gradstudents/is8543" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ibek Sahinler</a> is a Professor of rhetoric and writing at The University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin). Sanhinler—who posted she/her pronouns on her faculty profile—has multiple areas of interest, including, “queer theory,” “queer Global South,” and “writing and gender studies.”

Sahinler was named in an article by <a href="https://texasscorecard.com/longhorn-scorecard/ut-austin-course-promotes-lgbt-agenda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Texas Scorecard</a> titled “UT-Austin Course Promotes ‘LGBT’ Agenda.” After pointing out the “<a href="https://www.heritage.org/progressivism/commentary/native-land-whiners-should-match-words-deeds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">land acknowledgment</a>” on the first page of the <a href="https://texasscorecard.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/ut-austin-syl_wgs303_fall2024_sahinler-redacted.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">syllabus</a>, Scorecard wrote:

“[UT-Austin] is offering an ‘Introduction to LGBT Studies’ course this fall [2024]. A required course textbook promotes the sexualization of minors…The instructor is UT-Austin PhD candidate, Ibek Sahinler. The course’s general guidelines contain even more left-wing framing.”

The “Introduction to LGBT Studies” course description states:

“This course offers students an intersectional perspective on LGBTQ+ studies, encompassing key theoretical, historical, and methodological approaches. Students will gain foundational skills in theory, history, and research methods, investigating the social construction of sexual identity and its interplay with [race], class, religion, and nationality.”

Required reading includes a <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=o0CRAgAAQBAJ&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;dq=The+Routledge+Queer+Studies+Reader&amp;hl=en&amp;newbks=1&amp;newbks_redir=0&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj05vjAiJGKAxXsI0QIHdXgDMgQ6AF6BAgEEAI#v=onepage&amp;q=The%20Routledge%20Queer%20Studies%20Reader&amp;f=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collection of essays</a> called “The Routledge Queer Studies Reader” with multiple contributing authors. The introduction says the book pays “homage to the publication nearly twenty years previous, The Routledge Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader.” 

In chapter one—entitled “Queer and Now”—the author leads a discussion on teen suicide among those who profess to be gay or lesbian by declaring:

“I look at my adult friends and colleagues doing lesbian and gay work, and I feel that the survival of each one is a miracle… How to tell kids who are supposed never to learn this, that, farther along, the road widens and the air brightens; that in the big world there are worlds where it’s plausible, our demand to get used to it.”

Sahinler's faculty bio says, “She likes thinking about the intersections between the Middle East and Latin America, borderland studies, identity politics, rhetoric of failure, and linguistic queerness.” However, this professor has not published any books or peer-reviewed writings showing a legitimate contribution to higher learning.

According to <a href="https://www.easternecho.com/article/2024/10/emu-suspends-professor-amid-publicity-over-criminal-sexual-conduct-investigation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Eastern Echo</a>, Coatings Research Institute Director Vijay Mannari was suspended from teaching due to his appearance on a catch a predator show where he was caught and arrested for attempting to have sex with a minor. 
In an <a href="https://www.watchtrublu.com/takedown-with-chris-hansen/season:10/videos/td-huron-township-vijay-fc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode</a> of “Takedown with Chris Hansen,” a law enforcement agent acted as a 15-year-old girl in a series of messages with Mannari. The professor sent sexually explicit texts to the agent before he arrived at the set-up house. He was arrested after talking with Chris Hansen about his actions.  
Eastern Michigan University issued the following <a href="https://today.emich.edu/story/statement/12839" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> in light of Mannari’s suspension:
“The actions the individual is accused of are detestable and abhorrent, and stand against everything the University stands for. 
Upon learning about this matter, the individual was immediately suspended, barred from campus, denied access to University email, and prohibited from any further contact with the University or our students. 
Although the investigation remains ongoing, the University is not aware of any allegations against the individual that involve University employees or students.
The University is cooperating fully with law enforcement and will continue to monitor the situation closely. We take these matters very seriously, as the safety and well-being of our campus community is our top priority.”
Mannari’s profile on <a href="https://fozdardynamics.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fozdar Dynamic</a>—a chemical solutions research group–states that he “has a very strong professional network across the globe, is very active in serving many professional organizations, universities, and companies as a member of technical advisory boards.”
