Controversial Scholar Can't Find a Job
A year after DePaul University denied tenure to Norman G. Finkelstein, the controversial political scientist has still been unable to find another post in academe, according to a report on The Chronicle’s News blog about a recent interview Mr. Finkelstein gave to The Jewish Week.
Mr. Finkelstein told that local newspaper that he doubted he could get even a job teaching high school.
“The way they do background checks is to Google your name,” he said. “With me, they would get 30,000 Web sites, one-third of them saying I am a Holocaust denier, a supporter of terrorism, a crackpot, and a lunatic.”
