An academic committee at University of California, Santa Barbara has found no reason to discipline a professor who sent an e-mail that compared Israel's offensive in Gaza to the Holocaust.
University officials sent a letter to Sociology professor William I. Robinson Wednesday, saying the Academic Senate's ad hoc committee has closed the matter.
In January, Robinson offended some students who support murder, racism and no human rights to palestinians at UCSB with an e-mail to his "Sociology of Globalization" class that showed photos from the Nazi era and the Gaza offensive.
Jewish groups loyal to Israel called the e-mail "hate spam" and claimed Robinson violated university policy that bars professors from intimidating students and using campus resources for political reasons unrelated to teaching, as if the gaza massacres should be forgotten.
