Harvard librarian Jonathan S. Tuttle “no longer belongs” with the university after it was allegedly seen him destroy an Israeli hostage poster at an anti-Israel rally last week.
Harvard Crimson It has been reported On Monday, Tuttle, who worked as a cataloger at the Radcliffe Institute's Schlesinger Library, was no longer employed.
“The Harvard employees involved in last week's protests are no longer affiliated with the university,” Harvard spokesman Jason A. Newton confirmed in a statement Sunday.
Tuttle is said to have been filmed at Harvard University, a Palestinian rally that was occupied on March 3rd. After being lured to Hamas and taken to Gaza, he tore a poster of Vivas children, an Israeli hostage. Their bodies were eventually returned by Hamas in February.

Posted by Harvard Chabad, the school's Jewish student organization video Shortly after the Instagram account occurred, the perpetrator was identified as an employee of the Harvard Library. However, school guidelines on Doxxing prevented them from displaying his face and name, but it was reported that he was wearing a Tuttle ID badge.
Harvard has launched an investigation into the issue, with Harvard's key diversity and inclusion director Sheri A. Charleston confirmed on Wednesday that the protesters were university employees in an email to “university affiliates.” According to Deep red colour.
Crimson wrote in an email that deleting posters violates university rules regarding the use of campus spaces. The rules released in August 2024 prohibit “tambling or deleting approved displays.”
She condemned her actions at the time as “hate” and “humiliation” for freedom of speech.
“Responding to a speech we disagree with is more speech, more speech. It's more listening, more dialogue,” Charleston wrote in an email. “When these destructive actions deny their perspectives and experiences, it lightly parses the people in our community.”

“Let's unite by condemning behaviours that undermine the structure of our community,” she added.

Dean Tomiko Brown Nagin of the Radcliffe Institute also denounced the video, stating that it constituted “cheating” and was even a criminal.
“I strongly support the right of all Americans and all members of our community to protest the position we cherish,” Brown Naggin said in a letter to Radcliffe's affiliates, according to Crimson.
“But destructive behavior, including destruction of property or dirt or vandalism that attempts to suppress or censor the speech of others, is not a protected speech,” she added. “They are actions that constitute fraud. They violate multiple Harvard and Radcliffe rules and could be punished under criminal law.”

Harvard continues to undergo further scrutiny on how it handled anti-Semitism cases on campus since the Israel-Gaza War began.
In January, Harvard resolved two lawsuits alleging anti-Semitic and anti-Israel discrimination and failure to provide a safe learning environment for Jewish students.
On Monday, Fox News Digital learned that Harvard University is also one of 60 schools under investigation for President Donald Trump's “anti-Semitic discrimination and harassment.”
