The assistant professor of curriculum studies was placed on paid leave in March 2024 after a conservative outlet spotlighted his October 2023 to February 2024 posts on the Israel-Hamas war. An investigation cleared him of any classroom discussion, policy violations, or harassment, reinstating him a month later—yet university leaders labeled the posts hateful and antisemitic in a joint letter. Fúnez-Flores, who leads a decolonial studies group for the American Educational Research Association, plans to appeal and thanked supporters with 'La lucha sigue!' as scholars split on whether it's retribution or fair judgment. The case highlights ongoing U.S. campus debates over pro-Palestinian speech since the war began.

Jairo I. Fúnez-Flores learned Monday his six-year tenure bid at Texas Tech had failed. He connects the denial directly to a 2024 suspension over his social media posts calling Israel's Gaza actions genocide.
