The AAUP also finds that the college’s equal opportunity & nondiscrimination policies, developed by outside consultants, do not sufficiently protect academic freedom & due process, nor do they comport with widely accepted standards of academic governance.

The AAUP concluded that the admin’s hasty action, facilitated by the monitoring & dissemination of Prof Finkelstein’s social media posts by college administrators & staff of the campus chapter of Hillel International, severely impaired the climate for academic freedom at Muhlenberg College.

An AAUP investigating committee found that, in dismissing Professor Finkelstein solely because of one anti-Zionist repost on Instagram without demonstrating cause before an elected faculty body, the admin acted in violation of key AAUP standards and the college’s own dismissal policy.

"The widespread practice of hiding the identity of all officers conducting detentions is more likely to be exactly what it seems: an attempt to evade accountability for abuses by those purporting to enforce the law, and not justified by any need for the safety of the agents."
