Controversial Professor Plans to Risk Arrest After University Cancels His Classes (FOXNEWS)
A professor whose views on the Holocaust irked critics plans to risk arrest by showing up on the first day of classes next week at DePaul University after officials canceled his courses, took away his office and put him on leave.

The private Chicago Catholic university recently informed professor Norman Finkelstein that his three courses were canceled after a dispute over tenure that drew charges of anti-Semitism against him.

The university put Finkelstein on administrative leave with full pay and benefits last week for 2007-2008, the final year of his contract....
