Computer science professor Stuart Reges is facing disciplinary action for stating on his syllabus that Native Americans have no historical claim to campus land.
It’s a common practice in the Pacific Northwest to acknowledge that the land here has been tied to Native Americans going back millenia.Reges, though, is challenging the university’s directive on the land acknowledgment statement with a lawsuit.
“With the land acknowledgment, there was this idea that you had to affirm a certain view of American history, a very cynical view that we stole land from Indian tribes. I thought I would give it a try to see how they would react if I didn’t affirm that version of history.”
