An Arizona State University academic seen in viral video confronting a woman in a hijab during a pro-Israel protest near campus has been booted from the institution, ASU said this week. Jonathan Yudelman, a postdoctoral research scholar at ASU's School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership who taught a pair of classes in spring, was banished from the school, according to a statement released Thursday by ASU President Michael Crow.
“Arizona State University protects freedom of speech and expression but does not tolerate threatening or violent behavior,” the institution said Wednesday. Azza Abuseif, executive director of the Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, expressed gratitude to ASU for severing ties with Yudelman and urged police to arrest him on allegations of harassment, though it's unclear if any laws were violated during the confrontation.
