A San Jose State University professor who acted as a liaison between pro-Palestinian campus protestors and campus administration was suspended and is under investigation.
“As a sole faculty member speaking out, it’s uncomfortable and I’m worried about my job,” Kil said. “If San Jose State University thinks that what happened in our department is done with, and justice was served I openly disagree with them.”
Villareal said the university should be embarrassed by the investigation because it looked like administrators were “trying to sweep things under the rug.”
The probe started after Dean of the College of Applied Sciences and Arts, Charles Bullock contacted Correia regarding use of an unauthorized off-campus checking account. Following an email and phone conversations, the Justice Studies department head admitted he made some personal purchases using the account. In a letter obtained by the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit, Correia wrote, “I am embarrassed to say there were some inadvertent personal charges, which I have reimbursed.”
