Alumni Urge Ohio University to Reinstate Suspended Professor

Alumni of Ohio University are calling for the reinstatement of Professor Thomas Hayes, who was suspended after joining an aid flotilla to Gaza.

Hayes was detained by the Israeli military after the flotilla was intercepted in international waters. The university suspended him for changing his class to a virtual format during the semester, which allegedly violated the faculty handbook.

The alumni urged President Lori Stewart Gonzalez to "do the right thing, and reinstate Tom Hayes immediately as the instructor of The Art of Editing."

Over 150 former professors and graduates of the university's film and theater programs signed a letter in support of Hayes.

Author's summary: Alumni support suspended professor.
