Dr. Valentina Azarova asked us to share this message (🧵)👇

“I have reluctantly decided not to accept the position of director of the International Human Rights Program at the University of Toronto…

1/5 @CAUT_ACPPU
…While the University negotiated in good faith and extended academic freedom protections to the position, there were important uncertainties that could not be resolved in the course of our negotiations…

2/5
…In light of events over the past year, I realized that my leadership of the program would remain subject to attack by those who habitually conflate legal analyses of the Israeli-Palestinian context with hostile partisanship…

3/5
…I also understood that the University would not be in a position to remove these hazards and uncertainties…

4/5
… I am sincerely grateful for the support of concerned communities, students, and academics and am inspired by their commitment to academic freedom and an independent human rights program. I hope the role and the program are able to flourish."

5/5
#WEareUofT ❤️
