FILE - In this Sept. 11, 2014 file photo, University of Illinois Board of Trustees Chairman Chris Kennedy Jr., listens to discussion during a trustees meeting in Urbana, Ill. In an interview published in The News-Gazette on Friday, Sept. 19, 2014, Kennedy said the university was right to deny a faculty job to professor Steven Salaita whose anti-Israel Twitter messages were considered by some to be anti-Semitic. Salaita accepted an offer starting this fall to be a Native American Studies professor but was told he would not be hired after he later posted profanity-laced Twitter messages during Israel's war with Gaza in July. The Board of Trustees last week declined to change that decision. (AP Photos/News-Gazette/Rick Danzl, File) MANDATORY CREDIT
