Yale Law School Scrubs References to Administrator Who Is Member of US-Sanctioned Terror Financier
7th March 2025
Yale Law School’s Law and Political Economy Project, an initiative funded by the left-wing William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, quietly deleted online references to its deputy director, Helyeh Doutaghi, who is also a member of the U.S.-sanctioned terrorist fundraising entity Samidoun.
The entirety of the Yale Law School webpage for the project was inaccessible just before noon on Thursday. It came back online a few hours later with an updated “Directors and Staff” section that no longer includes Doutaghi. The Samidoun member’s Yale Law School biography, which describes Doutaghi’s research on “Marxian and postcolonial critiques of law, sanctions, and international political economy,” has also been pulled from the web.
