for sexual misconduct is facing possible termination at Princeton University in what critics call a politically motivated maneuver. <\/p>\n<p>The president of the university last week recommended that the board of trustees fire tenured classics professor Dr. Joshua Katz in connection with a relationship he had with a student in 2006, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/princeton-president-asks-board-to-fire-tenured-classics-professor-citing-sexual-misconduct-investigation-11653013224\">The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Katz was suspended over the relationship following a 2018 investigation which found it violated school policy, and a subsequent probe by the school <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>paper last year led to another inquiry that found that the professor didn\u2019t fully cooperate initially and misled investigators, according to the article.<\/p>\n<p>The second investigation came shortly after Katz criticized faculty proposals to address Princeton\u2019s racist history following the police murder of George Floyd, leading his allies to accuse the university of targeting him for his outspoken criticism of the school\u2019s liberal staff, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>Katz wrote <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/quillette.com\/2020\/07\/08\/a-declaration-of-independence-by-a-princeton-professor\/\">an online essay<\/a> in July of 2020 that said an open letter signed by students, staff and alumni that called for a committee to examine racism on campus would lead to crackdowns on free speech, and said he was \u201cembarrassed\u201d for his colleagues that signed it.<\/p>\n<p>His op-ed also called the student Black Justice League a \u201csmall terrorist organization\u201d after it successfully lobbied to have former President Woodrow Wilson\u2019s name removed from the public policy school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf expressing an unpopular opinion is an invitation to have your personal life turned inside<br \/>out looking for damaging evidence, how many people are going to be willing to speak out?,\u201d his lawyer Samantha Harris asked the newspaper.<\/p>\n<p>President Christopher Eisgruber countered that Katz\u2019s remarks were \u201cirresponsible and offensive\u201d in <a
