A UCSF medical professor is taking her university to court, claiming they unfairly suspended her over social media posts about the Gaza conflict. She argues the punishment violates her free speech rights, while the university hasn’t publicly detailed their reasoning yet.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about one professor—it’s part of a bigger debate over where universities draw the line between free speech and professional conduct, especially on polarizing global issues. With tensions over Gaza spilling into workplaces and campuses, the case could set a precedent for how far institutions can go in policing employees’ off-duty opinions.
