FBI linked to firing of ASU professor disclosed
Morris Starsky, a former Arizona State University professor and avowed socialist, released FBI documents obtained under the FOIA showing counterintelligence operations aimed at discrediting him. He and lawyer Alan Kyman allege the agency sought his termination over dissident views, citing memos between the Phoenix FBI office and Washington. The files indicate an anonymous letter to a faculty review committee and a suggestion to the State Board of Regents to fire him for falsifying attendance records. Starsky demands full access to his FBI file and calls for an independent investigation.
