(College Fix) San Francisco State University has rejected requests to stop investigating a professor who allegedly showed a drawing of the prophet Muhammed in a history class.

Two nonprofit organizations sent letters to SFSU leadership requesting the university halt its probe of history Professor Maziar Behrooz, who was accused by a student of showing a picture of Muhammed during an Islamic studies class last fall.

Behrooz reportedly showed the image of Muhammed in a fall 2022 class called “The Islamic World: 1500-1700.” Behrooz declined to comment to the College Fix.

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression and the Middle East Studies Association of North America have asked the university to terminate the investigation.
