POSTED BY HANK REICHMAN

On January 31, the AAUP issued a statement on “Targeted Online Harassment of Faculty,” which decried how a growing number of faculty members nationwide “have been subject to threats of physical violence, including sexual assault, through hundreds of e-mails, calls, and social media postings” in response to viewpoints expressed on electronic media or even in the classroom.  “Such threatening messages,” the statement added, “are likely to stifle the free expression of the targeted faculty member; further, the publicity that such cases attracts can cause others to self-censor so as to avoid being subjected to similar treatment. Thus, targeted online harassment is a threat to academic freedom.”

The latest example of such harassment is the case of Professor Dana Cloud at Syracuse University.  Below is a statement of solidarity with Professor Cloud signed by many of her Syracuse colleagues, as well as university alumni and students, and faculty members elsewhere.  The statement calls on the university to “defend and protect her and all faculty in the exercise of their academic freedom, their right to extramural speech, and the exercise of their conscience in civic life.”  To add your name to this statement go here.  

June 18, 2017

We stand in solidarity with Professor Dana Cloud.

We, the undersigned, stand in solidarity with Professor Dana Cloud and in opposition to the campaign of harassment and threats that have been leveled against her by right-wing extremists.

We understand that Dr. Cloud, a tenured full professor of communication studies at Syracuse University, began receiving hate-mail, including threats to her physical safety, after she tweeted out a call for larger numbers to come join a counter-protest against the “Anti-Sharia Law” rally held in Syracuse, NY, on June 10, 2017. The rally, attended by several anti-Muslim groups including the self-styled paramilitary group, the Oath Keepers, was part of a nationwide effort by the organization ACT for America to whip up Islamophobia under the guise of opposing “Sharia law.”

During the non-violent counter-protest, Dr. Cloud used social media to encourage other Syracuse community members to join the rally. As it became clear that the ACT for America supporters were beginning to leave, Dr. Cloud tweeted, “We almost have the fascists in on the run. Syracuse people come down to the federal building to finish them off.”

Four days after the peaceful rally, CampusReform.org published an article citing Dr. Cloud’s tweet, claiming that the phrase “finish them off” was a “veiled call for violence.” Capitalizing on the ambiguity of the phrase and citing it out of context, other right-wing activists and columnists have added their voices to a witch-hunt against Dr. Cloud, including Gavin McInnes, founder of an organization the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as a “fight club ready for street violence,” and Ann Coulter.

It is no accident that Dr. Cloud, as an outspoken lesbian socialist and peaceful social justice activist for decades, is being targeted. The emboldened Right-wing targets the oppressed with disgusting insults and threats directed at their identities.

The hate-mail and threats directed against Dr. Cloud are not isolated phenomena, but part of a campaign of intimidation and harassment against those standing in solidarity with Muslims and other oppressed groups. Professors who speak out against racism and bigotry around the country are being targeted by right-wing media and activists. In December of last year, Professor George Ciccariello-Maher at Drexel University was subjected to a similar campaign, and earlier this month, Professor Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor of Princeton University was forced to cancel part of a speaking tour after receiving death threats for calling Donald Trump a racist and misogynist at a commencement speech.

These attacks are evidence of a disturbing rise in the confidence of right-wing extremists around the country. We call on others to stand in unity and solidarity with all those, like Dr. Cloud, who are being harassed and threatened by right-wing pressure groups for speaking out against Islamophobia and bigotry.

We demand that Syracuse University and the broader academic community defend and protect her and all faculty in the exercise of their academic freedom, their right to extramural speech, and the exercise of their conscience in civic life.
