The University of Illinois has reached a tentative settlement with Steven Salaita, whose job offer to the Urbana-Champaign campus was revoked last year before the board could approve it, The News-Gazette reported. Salaita, whose controversial remarks criticizing Israel on social media concerned university leaders, sued the university, demanding not only compensation but the tenured faculty job he thought was to be his. Details of the proposed settlement are not available, and may not be until the board considers the deal Thursday. In the past, university leaders have indicated willingness to make a financial settlement with Salaita.
