sat. Harvard hires Divinity School graduate who faced assault charges against an Israeli student at a protest
A Harvard University graduate initially charged with assaulting one of his Israeli classmates at a high-profile “die-in” protest in October 2023 has been hired by the Ivy League college, according to reports.
Per the Washington Free Beacon, Divinity School graduate Elom Tettey-Tamaklo has started his new job as a graduate teaching fellow in August.
According to the National Review, Tettey-Tamaklo is responsible for advising faculty on curriculum design and consulting on complex academic subject matter, and may be receiving a stipend of up to $11,000.
In 2023, at the campus protest held after the Hamas terror attack, Tettey-Tamaklo was filmed confronting first-year Harvard Business School student Yoav Segev as he tried to film the protest, the National Review reported.

Tettey-Tamaklo was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery. Later, a judge ordered him to complete anger-management classes, take a Harvard negotiation course and complete 80 hours of community service.
After fulfilling those terms, a Boston Municipal Court judge dismissed the case in November 2024.
Despite the controversy, Harvard allowed Tettey-Tamaklo to continue his studies at the Ivy League school before hiring him in his new role.
