The University of Illinois’ Urbana campus has been taken off an academic censure list. Delegates to the annual meeting in Washington, DC, of the American Association of University Professors voted Saturday to take the campus off the list — recognizing that the school had addressed concerns over the Steven Salaita controversy.

The censure of the University of Illinois by the American Association of University Professors is going into its second year --- despite hopes that it would be lifted at the group’s annual meeting last week. Instead, delegates voted to let the censure continue.

The University of Illinois is officially done with the case of Steven Salaita, the professor whose job offer there was rescinded last year. The U of I will pay out almost $900,000 to end the 14 month-long legal battle with Salaita. 

The AAUP voted Saturday to censure the Urbana campus over its decision not to hire Steven Salaita.

The university came under scrutiny last year after rescinding a job offer for Professor Steven Salaita after he posted a series of anti-Israel tweets.
