Harvard Hires Graduate Who Faced Criminal Charges for Assaulting Israeli Classmate

Harvard has a new teaching fellow, Elom Tettey-Tamaklo, a graduate of the Divinity School. We guess Tettey-Tamaklo is good to "advise faculty on curriculum design" after taking a court-ordered anger management class. The Washington Free Beacon notes that Tettey-Tamaklo made a name for himself by being hit with a misdemeanor assault and battery charge after being caught on camera assaulting an Israeli classmate, Yoav Segev, at a "die-in" protest.

One of the Harvard graduate students who faced criminal charges for assaulting an Israeli classmate at a “die-in” protest, Elom Tettey-Tamaklo, has a new job:

Collin Anderson reports for the Washington Free Beacon:

Tettey-Tamaklo was the subject of intense scrutiny after he was caught on camera accosting a first-year Israeli business school student at an October 2023 "die-in" protest held outside of Harvard Business School. He was slapped with a misdemeanor assault and battery charge last May and ordered by a Suffolk County judge to take an anger management class and perform 80 hours of community service roughly a year later.
As that legal process played out, the Trump administration demanded Harvard expel Tettey-Tamaklo over the assault. Instead, Harvard hired him. Throughout the ordeal, the school never disciplined Tettey-Tamaklo or his compadre, Ibrahim Bharmal, and refused to cooperate with prosecutors in the case.

Required to take anger management classes and do community service after being charged with assault following a confrontation with an Israeli classmate?

No problem.

You can still be a graduate teaching fellow at Harvard and “advise faculty on curriculum design.” https://t.co/Cdfbd7URZl

Of course, Harvard probably saw that as a positive

The only way to restore balance to higher education is to carpet-bomb the Ivy League into dust. Anything less is simply insufficient.

Harvard is a total loss.

Harvard is just honoring its antisemitic history and their Islamist funders. They should not receive any tax dollars including student loans.

Seems Harvard didn’t take their settlement seriously. Maybe @AAGDhillon needs to take another look.

Yes, she definitely should. Harvard isn't doing very well at shaking its reputation as being an antisemitic hellhole.
