Hassan Diab, the Ottawa sociology professor who was convicted in absentia in 2023 of a deadly synagogue bombing in France, is “not currently employed” at Carleton University, the school says.

In the fall, Diab taught a course at Carleton called Social Justice in Action, using his own Canadian extradition case in his teachings. His position drew the ire of the Jewish community in Canada and beyond, with B’nai Brith Canada calling on Carleton to fire him.
