Case Description
The Center for Constitutional Rights submitted a public records request seeking information from the University of Minnesota related to its withdrawal of a job offer to Israeli-American Jewish scholar Raz Segal. The University had selected Professor Segal to direct the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies (CHGS) on June 5, 2024, but changed course after individuals and organizations raised objections spurred by his writings, which expressed his professional opinion that Israel was committing a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
