Cornel West Says Harvard Denied Him Tenure Because of His Views on “Israeli Occupation” Cornel West, a philosophy scholar and progressive activist, is claiming that he was denied tenure at Harvard University due to his views on the Israel-Palestinian conflict. West announced on March 8 that he was leaving his position as a philosophy and African American studies professor at Harvard and will be teaching at Union Theological Seminary full time, where he is currently a professor emeritus. He had threatened to leave Harvard in February when they declined his request for tenure. West, a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, has maintained that his pro-Palestinian views were the reason for Harvard denying him tenure. He told Haaretz that “the neoliberal hegemony in the universities is still very reluctant to have a robust, respectful, free dialogue on what’s going on, past and present, when it comes to Israeli and Palestinian issue.” A
