Literally a Jewish Israeli expert on genocides being hired to head an institute on genocide thinks this is a genocide and the response is to...not hire him
The University of Minnesota has paused the hiring of Israeli scholar Raz Segal to head the institution’s Holocaust and Genocide school over his principled position that Israel is perpetrating a genocide. Truly reprehensible. jewishinsider.com/2024/06/univ...

I'm sure a high level funding source is putting their finger on this application.

If you’re a genocide studies scholar and you’d like to sign onto an open letter to President Ettinger demanding Dr. Segal’s appointment be honored, please get in touch with me! University of Minnesota faculty are appalled and are mobilizing

Saw and posted that the other day. Next thing will be to accuse him of being antisemitic.

Well, how qualified could he be if he said what they don't want to hear?

I can’t believe this individual was ever interviewed actually.

Honestly what often happens is that faculty are in charge of hiring up to the point where you need a contract, and are left alone. Then higher ups gets involved and usually just rubber stamp but - not always

Optimism of faculty independence is appreciated. Wannabe assistant admins poison the discussion at all levels in my world.
