Helyeh Doutaghi, deputy director of Yale Law School's Law and Political Economy Project, has been placed on administrative leave as the university investigates allegations that she is a member of a U.S.-sanctioned terrorist fundraising organization. Doutaghi is connected to Samidoun, an organization described as a 'sham charity' and a 'front organization' for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Yale Law School takes the allegations seriously and has opened an investigation into the matter. Doutaghi's connection to Yale Law School is raising concerns in the White House and on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers and administration officials have pledged to crack down on anti-Semitism and extremism on university campuses.
