“As a scholar-activist I attempt to link my academic work to struggles in the United States, in the Americas, and around the world for social justice, popular empowerment, participatory democracy, and people-centered development.” – William Robinson on William Robinson.

Students, parents, concerned citizens when a professors labels themselves as an activist or advocate then you’ve spotted your red flag and should move on. Why pay thousands of dollars to hear from someone you can hear for free at the local Code Pink or Socialist rally? As you can see William Robinson is one of those people and CampusLIE has encountered his cyber-activism once before.

He sent out an email to his class regarding Latin American policy comparing Israel to Nazi Germany and it was full of many other non-academic claims. He was ultimately investigated by the Faculty Senate for his violations of the Faculty Code of Conduct, but charges were mysteriously dropped.
