Please use the six discourse analysis coding frameworks (in “Discourse Analysis Coding Framework” document) derived from the van Dijk academic research paper attached to the job to code the ~250 statements in the excel sheet.

I need the coded statements to be methodically organized so that I can write my chapter 4 (findings) and chapter 5 (analysis) of the incidents + responses.

This will be a back and forth project for the first week, and then you will be off on your own.

Example of incident:

UC Berkeley senior Paul Hadweh designed a course on the history of Palestine in order to spark discussion about his family's homeland under Israeli occupation. But the one-credit, student-ed offering - which aimed to analyze Palestine through 'the lens of settler colonialism' - was suspended last week after just one class following a storm of criticis that it fostered anti-Semitism and indoctrinated students against the Jewish state. According to an Israeli TV station, the Assn. of University Heads in Israwl had 'covertly ' tried to stop the course. Administrators said the reason for pulling the plug was procedural - that proper approval had not been obstained. Then campus officials reversed gears Monday, reinstating the course after students, faculty, free-speech advocates and Palestinian rights groups issued letters and circulated petitions denouncing the suspension as a violation of academic freedom.

Example of response:
I fully support and defend the principles and policies of our campus that protect the academic freedom of all members of our community, whether students, faculty staff or visitors, as well as the shared governance of our campus by the administration and faculty Senate.

It is in this spirit that I write in response to the understandable concerns that have been raised regarding the suspension of Ethnic Studies 198: Palestine: A Colonial Settler Analysis.

On Tuesday, September 13, 2016, I made the decision to suspend ES198: Palestine: A Colonial Settler Analysis, until it could be further reviewed. I did so because it became apparent that neither the Chair of the Department of Ethnic Studies, nor I had been made aware formally of this DeCal class offering, nor seen the syllabus.

Immediately following that decision, I met with the Chair of the Ethnic Studies Department, the faculty sponsor and the student facilitator of ES198 to review and discuss the course materials.

The meeting resolved the procedural issues concerning academic review and consultation, but led me to request that the Chair, faculty sponsor and student facilitator, work together to address the following concerns before deciding how to move forward:

1) The Committee on Courses and Instruction Checklist for Departmental Review and approval asks the Department to determine whether “the content of the proposed course is within the scope of your department’s academic program” (link to full text here). http://vcue.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/deptchair_checklist.pdf

I asked them to clarify how a course focused exclusively on Palestine was consistent with the academic mission of the Department of Ethnic Studies, as opposed to another department or program with expertise in regional area studies.

2) I asked them to assess whether the course description and syllabus had a particular political agenda structured into its framing and weekly assignments in such as way as to limit open inquiry of the issues it engages, and whether it potentially violated the 2007 Regents Policy on Course Content (see link below) and/or the 2015 Regents Principles Against Intolerance (regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/aar/mare.pdf).

3) I asked them to assess whether the stated objective of the course to “explore the possibilities of a decolonized Palestine” potentially violated Regents Policy by crossing over the line from teaching to political advocacy and organizing and referred them to the 2007 Regents Policy on Course Content. I quote for your reference:

The Regents….are responsible to see that the University remain aloof from politics and never function as an instrument for the advance of partisan interest. Misuse of the classroom by, for example, allowing it to be used for political indoctrination….constitutes misuse of the University as an institution (link to full text here) http://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/governance/policies/2301.html

Let me be clear: Deans review, but do not approve the academic content of DeCal courses. I did not request or require any revisions of the content of the course. I asked the Department Chair to consult with her colleagues and the student facilitator to provide me with clarifications of the three issues above. It is the responsibility of the Dean to insure that our academic programs are consistent with University and campus policies and practices.

The Department has now responded to my questions and concerns. The Student Facilitator, the Chair and the Executive Committee of the Department of Ethnic Studies determined that revisions of the course in light of these concerns were necessary and appropriate. It is my understanding that they have posted a revised version of the course description and syllabus.

I am therefore rescinding my suspension of the course.
