Over a year ago in January 2024, Jewish-American academic Maura Finkelstein found herself placed on administrative leave by her institution at the time: Muhlenberg College.
A few months later she was fired, despite having tenure.
The reason? She was told it was because of a post she shared on her Instagram story which heavily condemned Zionism.
Finkelstein joined us on Real Talk to reflect on this experience, what it taught her, and the state of crackdowns by US universities on pro-Palestinian activism.
