A professor at Oberlin College who blamed Israeli and United States intelligence for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks has been placed on paid leave pending the school’s investigation into her comments.

Scott Wargo, the director of media relations for Oberlin, said in a statement that the college had been “considering carefully the grave issues surrounding the anti-Semitic postings on social media by Oberlin faculty member Dr. Joy Karega,” The New York Times reported.

“The College initiated its faculty governance process to review Dr. Karega’s professional fitness in light of these postings,” the statement continued. “The faculty governance process that began thereafter is ongoing, and the Oberlin administration will continue to respect this process as it plays out. Until that process is complete, Dr. Karegahas been placed on paid leave and will not teach at Oberlin.”
