> 9/11 Backlash in Academia
>
> Irvine -- With tensions and patriotic fervor rising in the wake of 9/11,
> academia has not been immune.  Four academics died in the attacks, but
> casualties on campus continue.  Muslim student groups have come under
> scrutiny as Congress considers enacting foreign student bans.  At
> University of South Florida, a Palestinian computer science professor,
> Sami Al-Arian, after being threatened, has been suspended with pay and
> asked to stay off-campus.  And at UCLA's Young Research Library, a library
> assistant has been suspended after he e-mailed colleagues a
> pro-Palestinian message.
>
> On Subversity Friday May 5, 2001 from 5-6 p.m. on KUCI, 88.9 fm in Orange
> County, Calif. (Web-cast via http://kuci.org), we chat with Jonnie Hargis,
> a library assistant and geographical information system specialist at
> UCLA's research library.
>
> Hargis was suspended without pay from September 17-21 after library
> administrators decided his e-mail violated library policy (made public
> after he was suspended).  The Daily Bruin today editorially called for
> library adminstrators to apologize and give him his back pay.  Hargis is
> represented by CUE, the clerical workers' union in the UC system.
>
> To chat with Hargis, call 949 824-5824 during the show.
