The College Fix,  U. Oregon law review accused of rejecting professor’s article because he’s Israeli

Ofer Raban, a professor at the University of Oregon School of Law, said he filed a discrimination complaint with the university’s Office of Investigations and Civil Rights Compliance in February. In it, Raban alleged the Oregon Law Review rejected a professor’s article for publication because he is Israeli.

Raban told The College Fix last week that he was notified in June that the results of the university’s investigation into his complaint would not be disclosed. “University of Oregon informed me that it will not disclose to me — or to the public — the results of its investigation. The email referred to some unnamed ‘university policy,’” Raban told The Fix.

University spokesperson Angela Seydel neither confirmed nor denied whether the investigation has been completed in response to The Fix’s inquiry. “We have no further information that we can share with you,” Seydel responded via email Monday.

As of June 18, the investigation was still on-going, a university spokesperson told The Fix at the time. “The facts of this matter are still under review by the Office of Investigations and Civil Rights Compliance. Commenting before the conclusion of the review would be inappropriate,” university spokesperson Eric Howald said in the June 18 email.
