Oberlin College “Suspends” Prof. Mahallati: Background and Implications



A roundtable discussion with Benjamin Baird, Lawdan Bazargan, Susannah Johnston, Clifford Smith, and Benjamin Weinthal

This ended Mahallati’s decades of teaching at Oberlin and Columbia University. How did this very rare victory for sanity occur? Why did it take place now? What might it mean?
