DePaul Denies Controversial Professor
An e-mail message left Sunday for Finkelstein, who lives in New York, was not returned. A telephone recording said his Brooklyn phone had been temporarily disconnected.
The son of Holocaust survivors, Finkelstein earned his doctorate from Princeton in 1988. He published five books and taught political theory at DePaul since 2001, school officials said.

Finkelstein, who has accused some Jews of using the Holocaust as a way to unfairly get compensation payments, has been denied tenure at the school after a drawn out public fight. On his Web site, on Sunday, June 10, 2007, Finkelstein posted a letter from Depaul University President Dennis Holtschneider explaining why a faculty panel voted 4-3 to deny him tenure at the Catholic university.

University spokeswoman Denise Mattson said Sunday that Finkelstein's teaching term expires next June, but he can elect to leave his post immediately.
He was one of nine faculty members to be denied tenure or promotions this year, she said.
