Harvard librarian Jonathan S. Tuttle is “no longer connected” at the university after he reported a poster by Israeli hostages during a Anti-Israel Rally Last week.
The Harvard Crimson reported On Monday, Tuttle, who had previously worked as a catalog for the Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe Institute, was no longer working.
Spokesperson Jason A. Newton of Harvard confirmed on Sunday in a statement that the “Harvard employee who was involved in an incident during a protest last week was no longer affiliated with the university,” said the Crimson.
Tuttle is said to have been filmed during a Harvard from occupied Palestine -Rally on March 3 Tore Posters of Posters of The Bibas -childrenIsraeli hostages who were killed after being kidnapped and brought to Gaza by Hamas. Their remains were eventually returned by Hamas in February.

Harvard Chabad, the Jewish student organization of the school, placed the video To their Instagram account shortly after it took place, identifying the perpetrator as an employee of Harvard Library. However, the guidelines of the Doxxing School prevented them from showing his face and name, although it was reported that he was wearing Tuttle’s ID bathbad.
Harvard started an investigation into the business and Harvard’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Sherri A. Charleston, confirmed on Wednesday that the demonstrant was a university employee in an e -mail at “University Affiliates”, according to The Karmozijn Rood.
The Crimson reported: “Charleston wrote in her e -mail that the removal of the poster violates the rules of the university on the use of campus spaces. The rules, released in August 2024, prohibit ‘tampering with’ approved displays’.
At the time, she condemned the action as “hateful” and an “insult” for free speech.
“The reaction to speech with which we disagree is more speech, no less; it is more listening, more dialogue,” wrote Charleston in the E -mail. “It spreads those in our community when their perspectives or experiences are canceled by destructive actions like this.”

“Let us unite in condemning actions that undermine the structure of our community,” she added.

Radcliffe Institute Dean Tomiko Brown-Nagin also condemned the video and said that it was “misconduct” and maybe even criminal.
“I strongly support the right of all Americans and all members of our community to protest to support positions that we are dear,” said Brown-Nagin in a letter to Radcliff branches, according to the Crimson.
“But disturbing behaviors – including destruction of property or deficiency and acts of vandalism that try to suppress or censor the speech of others – are not a speech,” she added. “They are behavior that forms misconduct; they violate several lines of Harvard and Radcliffe and can also be punished according to criminal law.”
