Arizona State University terminates scholar who verbally assaulted hijab-wearing woman

Arizona State University (ASU) said that Jonathan Yudelman, a postdoctoral researcher who was involved in the verbal assault of a woman wearing a hijab, was terminated and will no longer be allowed to enter campus to teach.

"He is no longer permitted to be on campus and will never teach here again," ASU President Michael Crow said in a statement to CNN.

Yudelman was recognised in a video where he seemed to be partaking in the intimidation of two people near a pro-Israel rally in a social media video that has since gone viral.
