Subject: News Gazette Letter to the Editor: AAUP lies on Salaita!
Importance: High

A report from an AAUP representative who visited the UI in April found that the climate for academic freedom is "robust", said Anita Levy, Senior program officer for Academic Freedom,Tenure and Governance.
That is a bald-faced lie by the AAUP! The bigoted and racist persecution of Steven Salaita by the entire University Administration, many Faculty and large elements of the surrounding Community has terrorized and intimidated Palestinians/Arabs/Muslims of Color on this Campus and absolutely nothing has been done to alleviate it by the University of Illinois. Likewise,  the University's longstanding bigotry and racism against American Indians still remains and has never been repudiated, rectified or even apologized for. Chancellor Wise's illegal firing of Steven Salaita was a two'fer for bigotry and racism on this Campus that is still pervasive against all People of Color here.
