"Columbia University professor retires as probe finds she discriminated against Israelis

Katherine Franke leaves school after investigation says she violated university discrimination policy when saying Israeli students harass Palestinians on campus"

Tilsvar fra Center for Constitutional Rights under Kilde

Også Frankes egen erklæring er gjengitt under Kilde.
Det er en sterk beskrivelse av hvordan forholdene ved Columbia-universitetet har vært for professor Franke.

Det juridiske firma Franke hadde valgt til å representere henne, Outten & Golden, ledelsen der sa opp kundeforholdet.
Men den partner som representerte henne valgte da å slutte i Outten & Golden.
Og en senere vurdering av handlemåten til Outten & Golden konkluderte at oppsigelsen var uetisk:

“Outten & Golden’s abandonment of you and your matter before the Columbia University’s Office of Equal Employment and Affirmative Action Office (EOAA) because of the politically charged environment about the Israeli/Palestine conflict is contrary to foundational values of our profession,” Yaroshefsky wrote in a Sept. 10 letter finding Outten & Golden’s conduct unethical."
