Political Scientists: Boycott UIUC!

Two hundred More than 300 Three hundred and thirty-five political scientists have now joined the boycott of UIUC, including scholars from Princeton, Chicago, Oxford, Hopkins, and more. That’s good, not great (philosophy is nearing 600 signatures!) Since poli sci is my discipline, I’d like to see that improve. If you haven’t signed, please do so. If you have, get a friend or colleague (in poli sci) to do so.

If you want to sign, you can do so here. (For the statement you’ll be signing and the list of signatories, see below.) With every new set of 25 signatures or so, I’ll update the list.

I’ll be moderating the comments heavily here; anything tangential to the mechanics of the boycott will not be allowed.

Dear Chancellor Wise:

We the undersigned political scientists will not visit the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus until Professor Salaita is reinstated to the position offered him by the faculty and which he had accepted in good faith.

    I have long since signed the petition for non-academics a while back (although I did attend graduate school at NYU in the 1990’s).

    Can someone link to a petition for the public that can then forwarded to others? The one I signed did not have that function. Or I missed it.

    Is there one for Law Professors? If so, would someone please link to it so I can badger my former professors and lecturers? Thanks.
