Finkelstein

This is the first in a series of No Empires posts dedicated exclusively to the Norman Finkelstein tenure case.

• Matthew Abraham has written a strong piece in defense of Finkelstein on the Guardian's website.


• Electronic Intifada reports of an ongoing sit-in at the office of DePaul president, Rev. Dennis Holtschneider .


• Columbia's Bruce Robbins is circulating a petition calling for a halt to "business as usual" with DePaul among American academics and their students. No Empires received Robbins' petition in an email, but you can find another letter of support for Finkelstein here.
