According to this news report, Muslim Professor Ali Yedes attacked and berated a fellow female professor in the French and comparative literature department. Calling her a whore and physically threatening her, Yedes allegedly told another professor in August 2013 that he brought his nephew to the United States on a student visa specifically to "stab and kill someone from his department." When the nephew didn't follow through with the demand, Yedes beat him and the nephew fled the country.
Her fears fell on deaf ears. The school was notified of the death threat and did nothing. Worse, they never told her. Instead, she was punished.
….she was moved to another building, then to a basement — creating a number of job burdens — to avoid more hostile interactions with Yedes. Another female worker who the suit said was harassed was moved as well.
Meanwhile, Yedes was given tenure and a larger office, An said.
The suit also accuses Yedes of calling her a whore and other defamatory words, and disrupting meetings with outbursts. His behavior has been erratic and abusive and caused turnover of five acting French chairs, the court papers said.
This behavior by a "Muslim religious life affiliate" is not surprising. It's expected. But the college's refusal to act is unconscionable. The school sanctions his brutal behavior for fear of offending Islam — or worse, appearing racist (though Islam is not a race).
It is clear he meant to kill this woman, and no action was taken. How many other Muslim professors get tenure by bullying and intimidating? I hazard no guess.
