Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Outspoken professor to leave Yale faculty
A professor who also is an outspoken anarchist has agreed to leave Yale University this spring, dropping an appeal over whether his termination was politically motivated.
David Graeber, one of the world’s leading social anthropologists, said he will teach two classes next semester, then take a yearlong paid sabbatical, after which he will not return.
“Normally, you get a sabbatical on the condition that you come back and teach the following year,” Graeber said. “I’m getting the sabbatical on the condition that I don’t come back and teach.”
Yale spokesman Tom Conroy said he could not immediately confirm the arrangement.
