Toronto Star: The professor’s next battle
History professor David Noble is accusing York University of conducting a campaign of reprisal against him.
He is a thorn in the university’s side.
History professor David Noble has taken on York University for years; accusing it of playing religious favourites by cancelling all classes on Jewish holidays (and he’s Jewish); claiming pro-Israeli members of its fundraising foundation have too much sway over campus operations; slamming former president Lorna Marsden for expelling a pro-Palestinian protester and questioning the credentials of a recent faculty hire.
Since 2004, he has written a pamphlet critical of the influence of what he calls the “Israeli lobby” at York – whom he named, one by one.
