Georgetown Professor Removed Amid Controversy Over Iran Strike Comments
Originally Published 6 months ago — by CAIR
CAIR has called on Georgetown University to reinstate Professor Jonathan Brown after he was investigated for a misrepresented tweet about Iran, emphasizing that the university's actions undermine academic freedom and are based on a bad-faith attack. Brown's original tweet expressed hope for a minimal Iranian response to U.S. actions, which he clarified and deleted, stating it was not a call for violence. CAIR argues that the university's response is unjust and sets a dangerous precedent for free speech and dissent, especially for Muslim scholars.
