Tenured professor, Maura Finkelstein, was terminated from Muhlenberg College following a pressure campaign that seized on an anti-Zionist Instagram repost. Neither her longtime public support of Palestinians, nor the courses on Palestine she taught in her early years at the school prevented Finkelstein from earning tenure in 2021. Following the arduous tenure process, professors are supposed to enjoy lifetime job security and robust safeguards of academic freedom. The bar for dismissal from a tenured academic position is by design meant to be extremely high, requiring justifiable cause. Finkelstein notes that she strongly rejects claims that the term "Zionist" represents Jewish people, and that anti-Zionist Jews like herself oppose the maintenance of Israel as a Jewish-supremacist ethnostate... "Judaism is a religion and Zionism is a political ideology."
