Let Rouhollah Teach Again!
We believe that Dr. Rouhollah Aghasaleh should be allowed to return to work immediately. The indefinite suspension must be ended and their old position returned to them as soon as possible.
Why is this important?
Dr. Rouhollah Aghasaleh’s only crime was to stand with students in the face of police violence from the administration at the time. Dr. Aghasaleh was a voice for peace and reason throughout the process and the overall occupation was actually safer due to their presence. Standing with Palestinians that are the victims of genocide and standing with students in the face of police violence and injustice are also not crimes. We do not believe that it is right to indefinitely suspend ANYONE in this way. Please do the right thing and bring Dr. Aghasaleh back to campus! In the time that they have been gone, they have continued to do teach-ins at no charge because they are truly that committed to, and passionate, about education.
