UC Berkeley offers Israeli dance scholar position after legal settlement over denied job
UC Berkeley said it will offer Israeli dance scholar Yael Nativ a teaching position after a legal settlement over a university finding that she was denied a role because of her Israeli identity.
UC Berkeley has agreed to a legal settlement with Israeli dance scholar Yael Nativ, who was denied a teaching position due to her nationality. The university has promised to offer Nativ the job she was guaranteed in the December 2025 settlement "no later than the week of Sept. 28." The delay in the job offer was attributed to "internal miscommunication" by a university spokesperson, but Nativ expressed her frustration with the long wait and the lack of communication from the university.
