Mohammad Jafer Mahallati is on indefinite administrative leave. The former UN Ambassador from Iran (1987-1989) has been implicated in his crimes against humanity, but Oberlin College hired him anyway. Now, they are paying him to do nothing.
Not that this isn’t the ideal final form of every liberal college professor, but that wasn’t the original plan. Oberlin was OK with calling a Jew-hating anti-semite their Peace Professor. Still, after Oct 7, the College is officially on the hook and under Federal Investigation after ignoring years of Jafer Mahallati praising violence and assigning “anti-Israel readings to his students.”
[Mohammad Jafer Mahallati’s] ouster comes in the middle of a federal investigation of antisemitism at Oberlin based on charges brought by 1986 alumna Melissa Landa, whose story we covered here. Landa is president of the Oberlin Chapter of Alums for Campus Fairness, a non-profit group that fights antisemitism at the school. She filed her complaint against Oberlin with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) back in 2019. On September 29, the OCR announced it is looking into her charges under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI).
I’m sure Oberlin will do what it can to avoid complicity as it is still reeling from losing the Gibson’s Bakery case in which a Dean went on a hate-fueled intifada against a local business. The defamation suit cost the College tens of millions in ‘reparations’ owed the Gibson family. This Mohammad thing has a similar woke pit of hell stench to it. The reporting suggests that complaints have been amassed over the years only to be ignored by Oberlin’s enlightened masters until now.
Their Bias response team must have ignored numerous calls from the nearest courtesy phone. Lots of calls. It seems the Professor of Peace meant peace through genocide, and hey, once your enemy is dead, there is peace, or you are dead and at peace.
Then, there is the peace of collecting your salary to do nothing while Western elites rend their garments over being labeled racists for suspending you.
Yeah. I bet it’s like that.
