Georgetown University has removed Francesca Albanese, a United Nations Special Rapporteur, from its list of affiliated scholars after mounting criticism over her statements regarding Israel. The decision follows months of advocacy by a Geneva-based watchdog, which accused Albanese of antisemitic rhetoric and defending terrorism in a detailed report. Albanese, who has faced condemnation from several countries for her remarks, acknowledged the loss of her affiliate status and expressed concern over the professional impact of sanctions imposed by the United States. The university's move has been welcomed by critics who argue that academic institutions must uphold standards of integrity and not provide platforms for those accused of promoting hatred.
