NAACP: Oregon university president who made anti-Semitic remarks suffered racism
Israel National News ^ | 1/5/21 | Ben Sales

In the latest developments in an ongoing controversy at Linfield University over the firing of a tenured Jewish professor who accused the school of anti-Semitism, a report from the local branch of the NAACP found that the Oregon school’s president was subjected to racism at the school.

In addition, the school’s president, Miles K. Davis, told the Chronicle of Higher Education that he had in fact made a comment about the size of Jewish noses to Daniel Pollack-Pelzner, the professor who was fired this week. Davis had previously denied making the comment, and an investigation into him had concluded based on his denial that the comment could not be substantiated. He told the Chronicle that his comment had been informed by his time in the Middle East.

Davis invited the NAACP to investigate whether he was subject to racist treatment after he was accused both of anti-Semitism as well as sexual assault. Last week, the faculty of Linfield’s College of Arts and Sciences overwhelmingly called for his resignation. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Oregon Board of Rabbis also asked him to resign.

The NAACP report, published Friday and sent to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, says Davis was treated unfairly due to racism at the school. Davis is Linfield’s first Black president, and the report said that since 1970, no Black people have been elected as faculty trustee or faculty executive chair.

At Linfield, the report says, “deeply-held resistance to Black leadership and culture fueled the ferocity of resistance to organization change.” The report also said that Davis had not had time to “build a rapport with the faculty and staff” at Linfield because he needed to make changes quickly.

A lot of Arians in Nazi Germany ended up as Jews and in concentration camps, so Semitic may have been more appropriate. My mother had a large nose we all called the “Beckwith Nose” and she was part German. My college has become as severely confused as most since I graduated there in 1969. A part from Hillsdale College I don’t think I can recommend anyplace.

Isn’t that a Nation Of Islam uniform with the bowtie?

Seriously the guy in that picture is alleged to have remarked something along the lines of:

“when you send the Jews to the shower don’t give them any soap”

Let someone tell me I have a “big nose” or use any other anti-Jewish epithet and see how long they continue to stand up. This guy is clearly an affirmative action placement. It is doubtful whether he has the IQ to run a college. Obviously, he should not hold that position any longer. But since he’s black, he’ll likely get away with it. Disgusting.
