Why was firing section, and discussion of resulting legal suit removed?
[edit]I had initially wrote this passage that covered the firing reason, and the resulting suit with close aberrance to source. Why was this removed?:
On November 1, 2023, members of the NYU Langone Health community were informed via email that Neel had, effective immediately, been suspended from his position as Director of the Perlmutter Cancer Center.[1]. The New York Times confirmed that Neel was let go for his postings and reposts on the X social media platform, which included, according to the New York Times, "offensive caricatures of Arab people" and posts that "appeared to question the extent of the death toll in Gaza from Israel’s relentless bombing campaign."[2]. Neel is suing the hospital for wrongful dismissal.[2]
I will add it back for now since it is citing New York Times directly. Can we discuss it on this talk page? Sametinkles (talk) 15:23, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
