The post invited people to come together to call for “an end to the violence and acts of terrorism against innocent Israelis and Palestinians.” La Salle within hours pulled it down.
The message went out on La Salle University’s X account, formerly known as Twitter, inviting people to come to a gathering
“I never thought that my own university would say that Israel is committing terror acts,” said Brodetzki, 42, who is in her second year of teaching in integrated science, business and technology at La Salle. La Salle University said as a matter of policy it does not comment on personnel matters. But the university acknowledged that the social media post contained a “poorly worded phrase that was subject to misinterpretation” and that the school “quickly recognized and removed the post.”
In its first statement, the university did not specifically mention Hamas, which Brodetzki faulted. But in a subsequent message, the president stated: “We condemn the acts of terror and violence against innocent civilians by Hamas.”
