Controversial Finkelstein Gets Canned From Catholic University
Finkelstein, a controversial and alleged anti-semetic Jewish professor, was denied tenure by DePaul University and had his fall semester class canceled. He has been assigned to an administrative leave with full pay and benefits for the 2007-08 academic year. Finkelstein is irate and plans to retaliate by showing up to teach his class, and if arrested, will go on a hunger strike until released then start the process all over.

You get fired–but you still get a years pay? Sheesh. Then he throws a tantrum–says he’ll show up for work and if he gets arrested he’ll starve himself–what a wacko. What part of getting fired does he not understand?

It’s intriguing that DePaul will defend one kind of orthodoxy, but allow other heterodoxies.
