A lecturer has been suspended from Stanford University for reportedly making offensive statements to Jewish students in class following the start of hostilities between Israel and Hamas.
"We have received a report of a class in which a non-faculty instructor is reported to have addressed the Middle East conflict in a manner that called out individual students in class based on their backgrounds and identities," the university said."Without prejudging the matter, this report is a cause for serious concern. Academic freedom does not permit the identity-based targeting of students.
However, leaders of Stanford’s Israeli Student Association said the discussion went far beyond what is on the syllabus. The Chronicle reported that students claimed the professor called Jews in class"colonizers" while minimizing the Holocaust. Senior Nourya Cohen told the Chronicle she talked to students who were in the class.“He asked how many Jews died in the Holocaust,” and when students said 6 million, “he said, ‘Yes. Only 6 million,’” she told the paper.
