US professors face discipline and investigations over Palestine support

Universities such as Columbia and Princeton rebuke educators for posts and comments criticizing war in Gaza

Several professors at universities around the US are facing disciplinary actions in regard to their support for the pro-Palestine movement and their students holding protests on college campuses.

At Columbia University, Katherine Franke, law professor and the director of the Center for Gender & Sexuality Law at Columbia Law School, is currently under investigation at the school over an interview she gave early this year. Last week, she announced she had filed a complaint against a law firm she retained after it dropped her as a client.
