In Defense of Academic Freedom - 12 October 2007 - Rockefeller Chapel - University of Chicago Sponsored by the Academic Freedom Committee. Avi Shlaim, Adam Shatz, Noam Chomsky and others credit Finkelstein with exposing Joan Peters' book From Time Immemorial as a "fraud" and "a monumental hoax". Amidst considerable public debate, Finkelstein was denied tenure at DePaul in June 2007, and placed on administrative leave for the 2007-2008 academic year. Among the notable aspects of this decision were criticisms by Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz of Finkelstein's tenure bid. On September 5, 2007 Finkelstein announced his resignation after coming to a settlement with the university on generally undisclosed terms. An official statement from DePaul strongly defended the decision to deny Finkelstein tenure, and asserted that outside influence played no role in their decision. The statement also praised Finkelstein "as a prolific scholar and outstanding teacher." www.normanfinkelstein.com/ Camera Man ??? (Let me know if you do know ..would need some sort of evidence)
