About one year later, Al-Arian was charged by federal law enforcement officials with raising money to support a terrorist organization, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, allegedly responsible for more than 100 murders in Israel and the Israeli-occupied territories.

Does this indictment strengthen the university’s case for firing Al-Arian? Is your answer the same whether or not the university knew of these indictable activities prior to the indictment? See West’s Termination ofEmployment Bulletin,May 2003, at 11.
