The University is aware of a recently shared false social media post that aims to discredit LA&PS Prof. Thabit Abdullah that accuses him of making statements he did not make. These disturbing social media posts have been confirmed as fake and reported.
Fake social media posts can cause lasting harm to unsuspecting - and undeserving individuals. The University has reached out to Prof. Thabit Abdullah to offer all available supports.
Upon learning the post was a fake, the letter writing campaign initiated by one of the advocacy groups was pulled down and they publicly apologized to Professor Abdullah.
