Senator Calls on Lincoln U. to Discipline Kaukab Siddique

Democratic Pennsylvania Senator Anthony H. Williams has called on Lincoln University to conduct an inquiry into whether English professor Kaukab Siddique has violated the university’s professional conduct code with his bigoted, pro-terrorist commentary. He also pointed to Siddique’s Holocaust denial as “evidence of his professional incompetence.” As Williams put it, “Academic freedom is certainly important, but so is academic integrity.”
