A tenured Rutgers University professor in under investigation for what some have characterized as several anti-Semitic Facebook posts. Michael Chikindas who has taught food science and nutritional services for almost two decades at Rutgers found posts from his account posted on the blog Israellycool.com. The blogger who lives in Israel said after feeling disheartened about there being a lot of antisemitism around the world he began monitoring anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sites. He said by a comment on one of those sites he found Michael Chikindas. Chikindas said his account was hacked. He said he was married to a Jewish woman and has a half Jewish son and that he is not anti-Semitic. Rutgers said in a statement, "Professor Michael Chikindasâ€™ comments and posts on social media are antithetical to our universityâ€™s principles and values of respect for people of all backgrounds, including, among other groups, our large and vibrant Jewish community."
