Arizona State University (ASU) announced on Thursday that a scholar who was involved in the verbal assault of a woman wearing a hijab had been terminated and barred from returning to campus to teach.
"He is no longer permitted to be on campus and will never teach here again," ASU President Michael Crow said in a statement to CNN about Jonathan Yudelman, who was placed on leave after the May 5 incident.
Yudelman, a postdoctoral researcher at the university, was recognized and accused of intimidating two people near a pro-Israel rally in a widely circulated social media video.
Yudelman, who was identified on various platforms on May 6, works as a postdoctoral fellow at the university's School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership.
