The Chronicle: Ithaca College Professor Says Political Views Influenced Her Tenure Denial
A sociology professor at Ithaca College who has been denied tenure there twice says colleagues and administrators let their political views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict get in the way of their judgments on her tenure bid.
The assistant professor, Margo Ramlal-Nankoe, has hired the same law firm that represented Norman G. Finkelstein, who was denied tenure at DePaul University last year after a highly public battle that focused on his critical writings about Israel. DePaul reached a settlement with Mr. Finkelstein last September (The Chronicle, September 6, 2007).
