Cornell University professor Eric Cheyfitz is facing backlash over his course titled 'Gaza, Indigeneity, Resistance,' which examines the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a settler colonialism perspective. The university's interim president, Michael Kotlikoff, expressed concerns about the course's lack of objectivity and its radical and biased view of the conflict. The controversy highlights the ongoing tensions between pro-Palestinian activism and efforts to protect Jewish and Israeli students on campus. The issue of academic freedom and the role of universities in monitoring classroom instruction has become increasingly contentious in recent years.
