Professor Fired for Pro-Palestinian Activism Reinstated by San José State
HeadlineJun 25, 2026
San José State University has been ordered to reinstate a tenured professor who was fired for her pro-Palestinian activism. An arbitrator issued the order to rehire professor Sang Hea Kil after finding that her dismissal was “excessive and disproportionate.” Kil hailed the ruling as a “victory for academic freedom on campus and pro-Palestine speech.” Kil had been fired after participating in three on-campus demonstrations over the war in Gaza. She also served as faculty adviser to Students for Justice in Palestine.
