LETHBRIDGE – A University of Lethbridge professor says the university is taking him to the Alberta Human Rights Commission over comments Jewish groups have called anti-Semitic.
Anthony Hall was suspended without pay in October following comments he made in online articles and videos suggesting there was a Zionist connection to the 9/11 attacks and that the events of the Holocaust should be up for debate
Hall who has taught Native American studies, liberal education and globalization over his 26 years at the university says last week he received a letter from university president Michael Mahon dated Dec. 19 informing him of the complaint.
In the letter, which Hall provided to The Canadian Press, Mahon writes that a review has suggested the professor has engaged in a series of actions that could contravene the Alberta Human Rights Act.
