University educators behind the push to speak freely on campus

Steven Salaita was a rising star in the field of Native American studies.

In the fall of 2012, he applied for a job at the University of Illinois.

“About a year later, I was finally offered a job,” he says. “I signed the contract. It was advertised all over the internet. You know, so it was done.”

Then he lost everything.

“I had used Twitter and other forms of social media to condemn the Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip in Palestine,” Salaita recalls.

His move to Illinois was in two weeks.

“And all of a sudden, I got an unexpected email informing me that the job offer had been withdrawn,” he says. “I had indeed been fired.”
