Norman Finkelstein Resigns From DePaul After Tenure Dispute
And in academic news, professor Norman Finkelstein has resigned from DePaul University after the two sides agreed on a private settlement. The deal was announced Wednesday just before a scheduled protest against the school's decision to deny Finkelstein tenure and to cancel his classes this semester. Finkelstein spoke before a crowd of about 125 supporters wearing t-shirts that read "We are all Professor Finkelstein."
- Norman Finkelstein: "I have been recognized as a public intellectual at many of the leading universities in the United States and Europe and have become an internationally recognized scholar in my academic specialties. Based on this record, I should have received tenure. It is now time for me to move on and hopefully find new ways to fulfill my own mission in life of making the world a slightly better place on leaving it than when I entered it."

It is impossible to respond to such lunacy. Akin to calling MLK a Klan sympathizer who got what was coming. The best thing we can do is make sure our libraries carry Finkelstein's books,that we go to his speaking engagements, encourage, somehow, another college to hire him, and so forth. (My hunch is that he will get a job in Canada, ala Gabriel Kolko.)
Another thing: as far as I know, there is only one "sweetie" posting here.
