An instructor at Stanford University has been removed from teaching duties as the school investigates reports that during a discussion on the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the instructor downplayed the Holocaust and singled out students “based on their backgrounds and identities.”
“Without prejudging the matter, this report is a cause for serious concern. Academic freedom does not permit the identity-based targeting of students,” Stanford said in a statement Wednesday.
I thought TAs were generally paid, especially grad students since they usually need the money.
Faculty is a very specific word in University systems. It almost exclusively means tenure track professors. Everyone else is staff, student, adjunct, volunteer, etc.
Ah, okay! Thanks!
