A University of Kentucky law professor reassigned from teaching after publicly calling for war on Israel has sued the university and U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon, asking a federal court to restore his duties and end an investigation. Ramsi Woodcock’s litigation challenges state and federal actions that pushed universities to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, arguing the measures violate the First Amendment. Woodcock’s website and petitions calling for military action against Israel prompted administrators to remove him from classroom duties while they investigate. The suit seeks reinstatement, damages, and a declaration that Kentucky’s requirement to use IHRA and the federal enforcement approach are unconstitutional restraints on academic speech. The case risks sharpening national disputes over campus speech, faculty discipline, and how Title VI anti‑discrimination enforcement applies to political views about Israel.
