UChicago professor calls school ‘evil colonial landlord,’ vows to use it to build power for Palestine
Campus Ref\orm ^ | 10 July 2025 | Patrick MacDonald

A professor at the University of Chicago recently cursed against the school and said she only worked there to “build power” for Palestinian solidarity.

The professor, Eman Abdelhadi, made the statements on July 5 during a socialism conference held in Chicago, according to The Daily Caller.

In her remarks, Abdelhadi reportedly said that UChicago is “evil” and a “colonial landlord,” and that she asked herself why she worked there.

“F**k the University of Chicago—it’s evil,” the professor said. “You know, it’s a colonial landlord. Why would I put any of my political energy into this space?”

U Chicago is much better than the Ivy’s in terms of controlling wokeism, accepting conservative views on campus, and permitting free speech.

I wonder how they will handle this case?

She should go fight for Gaza while it still has a brick upon another.

Surprise! Social Sciences and gender studies

She’s trying construct a world-view where gender, homosexuality, and Islam all fit together in nice box.

Like all the others of her ilk, it seems she’s found that post-modern marxism and “hate whitey” best encompass her cognitive dissonance, and explain her rage and insanity.

The feminists and queers set the tone for the campus even when I attended in the early 1980s.

When Jessie Jackson spoke there, one of the libertarian fellows in the group was asked by security to move out of the camera view with his sign "for his safety". In the most libertarian response ever, he started listing all the personal insurance he carried in contemplation of such mishaps.

The presence of conservatives was tolerated, but it was rather like being on an Indian Reservation, despite some really good teachers.

Assistant Professor; Director of Graduate Studies

Not saying anything specifically, but she appears to specialize in a mix of ethnic, gender, and religious studies.

So, Starbucks employment specialist.

And this hag is still employed?!

Imagine any of us publicly saying the same thing about the company we worked for? We’d be without a job.

Perhaps she could lend her power more directly.

Right. She’s obviously a terrorist. Call ICE today. Deport her. Let her complain about her new landlord in Gaza.

LOL, “Assistant Professor of Comparative Human Development” and sociologist. UChicago is much about getting grants. A good high school friend of mine was a big medical research grant earner there and was treated like royalty. She won’t be there long.

It’s like the end of a Bond movie when the villain reveals his evil plan for world domination. Or Scooby Doo when the guy who runs the funhouse is unmasked.

I agree, and if she is Muslim she probably has had her viewpoints “beaten” into her either by her parents or through threat of death or punishment by the guidance of the Imam.
U of Chicago is denigrated by her work there.
