Protect academic freedom
Target:
AAUP, AAUP-NC, and North Carolina State University
Sponsored by:
The following petition was drafted by Academics for Justice (http://AcademicsForJustice.org) and will be sent with signatures to the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), the North Carolina AAUP (NC-AAUP), and North Carolina State University (NCSU) Chancellor James L. Oblinger.
In March 2008, Dr. Terri Ginsberg filed a Grievance Petition with the NCSU Faculty for alleged violations of First Amendment rights and other rights guaranteed under the University Code that were perpetrated by senior, administrative colleagues during her employment there as a one-year, non-tenure-track Assistant Professor with possibility of renewal. These alleged violations constituted concerted attacks on her academic speech supporting Palestinian rights and legitimacy and criticizing U.S. and Israeli policy in the Middle East, and they culminated in her non-reappointment to her position at NSCU.
Despite strong, legally grounded recommendations on the part of James Martin, NCSU Faculty Chair, that Dr. Ginsberg's case should be given a fair hearing on campus, NCSU Chancellor James L. Oblinger chose in June 2008 to dismiss her case upon the basis of an Appeal he was sent by the Grievance Petition's named respondents which argued, erroneously, that the Petition was filed too late, and that, moreover, as contingent faculty, Dr. Ginsberg had no right to grieve under the University Code.
Whereas the national AAUP and the NC-AAUP had been providing Dr. Ginsberg with requested guidance up to that point, each office informed her subsequent to Chancellor Oblinger's decision that it would no longer be able to serve in that capacity. The AAUP supplied no explanation for its decision, which eerily echoed the perfunctory and condescending language and tone of Chancellor Oblinger's decision to dismiss the case.
Dr. Ginsberg's case is but the most recent in a spate of similar cases that, in contravention of organizational mandate, have been ignored or refused by the AAUP, which has allowed political and other unrelated sensitivities interfere with its interpretation of obvious violations of the principles of rights of academic speech and association. As a result, alleged perpetrators of campus discrimination and academic speech violations against scholars whose research entails support for Palestinian rights and legitimacy and criticizes U.S. and Israeli policy in the Middle East have gotten away scott-free, and the increasing marginalization and super-exploitation of contingent faculty have been allowed to continue unimpeded.
We, the Undersigned, hereby demand that the AAUP and NC-AAUP provide vigorous political and legal support to Dr. Ginsberg in her pursuit of her right to a fair campus hearing by a committee of her peers, and in her attempt to clear her name against those who would consider it tainted for its association with Palestine solidarity. Across-the-board punishment and silencing of speech critical of violations of basic Palestinian rights or critical of U.S. Middle East policy should not be accepted by any rational academic in the U.S.
We also hereby demand that Chancellor Oblinger reverse his ill-advised decision to deny Dr. Ginsberg that right, and that he as such help set a precedent upon which contingent faculty at NCSU and elsewhere may finally exercise their legal right to grieve on campus and, as such, to their full rights as scholars, teachers, and intellectuals in the academic community.
Respectfully submitted,

The U.S. and state of Israel are compelled to censor academic speech because they have much to fear about the facts on the ground the Palestine and the U. N. Resolutions that pertain to 60-years colonial terror upon Palestine. The truth is an awful burden for the U.S. and Israel and its paltry allies; as partners in crimes against humanity, they do everything they can to suppress it, which includes deceit, torturous detention, murder, and the panoply of low-level warfare. The U.S. and Israel are stuck in a time warp of 19th-century imperialism and colonialism, which is the quagmire of their soon-to-be demise. We will chip away at the power to expose the decrepit immoral underbelly of malicious greed that supports it.

B.Sc. (Waterloo), M.A. (York), Ph.D. cand. (l'UQAM) As I learned from my Bundist mother, who escaped from the Warsaw ghetto, there is a difference between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. While some anti-Semities claim to be anti-Zionist, this distinction remians true nonetheless. The majority of Jewish people by living outside of Israel are in effect non-Zionist and are oppossed to anti-Semtitism by definition. Those who demand the exclusion of anti-Zionists on the basis that they are by default anti-Semitic are simply Zionist ideologues and not anti-racists as claimed. While it is possible that some who claim to be anti-Zionist are actually anti-Semitic, this is a matter that requires proof. My own doctoral Thesis has been suppressed for being anti-Zionist even though accepted by a majority of my jury. The expulsion of my Thesis is being contested in the Québec Superior Court.

I am a 1960 graduate of the University of North Carolina School of Nursing at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where I obtained my BS in Nursing Education, and later non degree courses including one which certified me as a Mental Health nurse. I totally agree that Dr. Ginsberg is entitled to further hearings on her dismissal. This is America, where we supposedly have freedom of speech and opinions. Her opinions about the Palestinian situation are in line with my own. It is pure discrimination in my opinion, not to allow her to have the assistance of AAUP, AAUP-NC and the support of the Chancellor Oblinger, who should not be her judge and jury combined. Since when have Professors been denied the right to have and share their personal knowledge and their opinions based on that. It may not be in accordance with those opinions of Chancellor Oblinger, but I would guess he is less knowledgeable and most of all, less caring. I am asking you in all that is fair and just, to allow her to have her case reviewed by impartial groups. Sincerely submitted, Martha Harris

Silencing the opposition by abusing the power of your position is a prelude to despotism. Mr Oblinger, who said:" I totally disagree with your opinion, but I will defend to the death your right to express it"?

I am Professor Emeritus at Gettysburg College and author of Blossoms on the Olive Tree: Israeli and Palestinian Women Working for Peace (Praeger 2006). It is essential that freedom of speech be preserved regarding the issue of Israel and Palestine because the true situation is not well reported by the media or by AIPAC, the US Israel lobby which wields a great deal of control over the way Americans think.

This sadly reminds me of what recently happened to Prof. Finkelstein, Juan Cole and others. It is our duty, as free citizens, to fiercely oppose Sionist bigotry and racism. What is happening today in the U.S. could happen tomorrow in Europe too.

As a retired elementary teacher from the Grand Rapids Public Schools, my concern continues to be the Challenged Learner as a fulfilled citizen of our precious democracy. The present state of our nation -- economically, morally, and accountably -- alarmingly demonstrates the very serious need to support teachers with the wisdom and courage to teach our future leaders their role and responsibilities. This is one.

Carolina Peace Resource Center, Columbia, SC Where does NCSU stand? On the side of academic freedom or a close-mindedness? The chancellor's actions must reflect a concern for the academic environment at the school, not a dictatorial high-handedness. NCSU's reputation as an institution of higher learning will be seriously degraded if these grievances are not addressed.

There are some problems with full freedom of expression in Israel and Palestine. But there is a greater climate of freedom in these societies than on North American campuses these days. Opposition to vigorous and robust debate about the occupation is imprudent, unwise, and unjust. Now, more than ever, we need to hear alternative voices with patience and respect. Professor of Law, Filmmaker
