UC Berkeley has suspended Nezar AlSayyad—an architecture professor and, until 2014, chair of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies for nearly two decades—for three years for sexually harassing a graduate student. During his suspension, AlSayyad is barred from non-public areas of the campus and cannot teach or supervise new graduate students. In 2016, Campus Watch wrote about AlSayyad’s case and that of former UCLA prof. Gabriel Piterberg, who, after a similar suspension, was fired in March.
