I said I couldn't find out if it was published in a peer-reviewed journal, which is quite a different matter. As far I know, it is simply a self-published article on Academia.edu, which anyone can do, including you and me. Secondly, Salaita's scholarship was of course evaluated by the department when it offered him a job. He was not fired/denied the offer on the basis of his scholarship, as everyone, including his opponents say.  ♝♚
