Kentucky prof suspended for calling for ‘Palestine everywhere’ asks federal judge to reinstate him
A law professor at the University of Kentucky who was suspended for anti-Semitism is now asking a federal judge to intervene.
Ramsi Woodcock, who was removed from teaching duties in July, describes himself on his personal website as an “Antizionist Scholar of Law & Economics.”
His Rosenberg College of Law bio adds that he is a graduate of both Harvard Law and Yale College. He also “writes on law and economics from a wealth-distributive perspective, particularly in relation to antitrust law.”
Woodcock filed a lawsuit last semester against the University of Kentucky in federal court, demanding to be reinstated as a full-time faculty member after he was suspended following an investigation into claims of his anti-Semitism, according to the Kentucky Lantern.
His lawsuit also challenges the university’s use of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of anti-Semitism, which was used in the proceedings that led to his suspension.
In the November filing, Woodcock alleged that “the university’s actions infringed on his rights as a tenured faculty member and improperly applied its policies,” as outlined by Duke Law.
The complaint adds that the University of Kentucky restricted his First Amendment rights and restricted his online speech in retaliation for content he posted on his website.
Yet, his suspension stems from his circulation and promotion of a petition called the “Petition for Military Action Against Israel.”
Professor Woodcock’s signature was included at the bottom of the petition, with the petition outlining that he demands “that every country in the world make war on Israel immediately and until such time as Israel has submitted permanently and unconditionally to the government of Palestine everywhere from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.”
A university spokesperson referred Campus Reform to a message distributed in July relating to Woodcock and the petition in response to a request for comment.

Since the professor is so supportive of “Palestine” he should be provided a one-way ticket.
“He also “writes on law and economics from a wealth-distributive perspective,”
Talk about agenda-driven bias.
What’s next — a professor of medicine who writes from a phrenological perspective?
what a little pissant.
