The Association for American University Professors (AAUP) is pressuring Muhlenberg College to explain the firing of a tenured Jewish anti-Zionist professor for 'bias-related conduct' over an Instagram post that encouraged 'shaming Zionists.' The college's decision to fire Maura Finkelstein came after months of scrutiny surrounding her anti-Zionist activism and complaints from Jewish students and faculty. The AAUP accused the college of not following due process in firing a tenured professor and raised concerns about academic freedom. Finkelstein is pursuing an additional appeal and is still drawing a salary from Muhlenberg.
