(New Arab) The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is calling on Georgetown University Law Center to look into student claims of Islamophobia by a law professor.
In a letter to the law school this week, CAIR Maryland director Zainab Chaudry wrote that they had “received meticulously detailed complaints of an alleged long-standing, documented pattern of behaviours, assignments and rhetoric that has mischaracterized or maligned Muslims and other groups, and has perpetuated harmful untruths and stereotypes.”
The student’s allegations against Professor Susan Deller Ross at Georgetown Law Center, who teaches women’s human rights and international law, included providing legal documents advocating for hijab bans, describing the hijab as a device that subordinates women and asking students to advocate for the right-wing Hindutva Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in India.
