Trustees at the University of Illinois have voted nearly unanimously not to reinstate Steven Salaita, a professor whose job offer was withdrawn after he posted tweets harshly critical of the Israeli assault on Gaza. Students, faculty and a number of academic associations had urged the trustees to reinstate Salaita, saying his academic freedom had been violated. Salaita said he is consulting with his attorneys about future options.
