Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

DePaul Students Protest to Support Norman Finkelstein

HeadlineSep 05, 2007

A demonstration is scheduled this morning at DePaul University in Chicago to protest the school’s denial of tenure to Professors Norman Finkelstein and Mehrene Larudee. Students are also criticizing DePaul’s last-minute decision to cancel Finkelstein’s classes for this semester. Before the rally, Finkelstein is expected to meet with students who had signed up to take his two courses, “Freedom and Empowerment” and “Equality and Social Justice.” Finkelstein has said DePaul’s decision to deny him tenure was a result of political opposition to his speaking out about the Israel-Palestine conflict. For years Finkelstein has been one of the most prominent critics of Israel in American academia.
