Jewish leaders deny pro-Israel pressure led California university to cancel faculty hire

A linguistics professor has resigned after accusing pro-Israel activists of shutting down a search committee for a new professor.

Steven Salaita called the settlement with the university “a vindication for me” and “a victory for academic freedom and the First Amendment.”

Dozens of department heads, chairs and directors called for Steven Salaita to be reinstated at the next board meeting.
