(Yale Daily News) Three weeks after being placed on administrative leave, Yale Law School is terminating associate research scholar Helyeh Doutaghi’s contract, citing her “refusal to cooperate.” Doutaghi was put on “immediate administrative leave” on March 4, following allegations that she is a member of the Samidoun Network, a designated terrorist organization in Canada and sanctioned “sham charity” in the U.S.
According to a statement from the Law School, over the last three weeks, Yale has requested to meet with Doutaghi and her attorney. Per the statement, Doutaghi has “refused” to meet or provide responses to questions of whether she has engaged in prohibited activity with organizations or individuals placed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List.
