The University of Southern California (USC) has reinstated a Jewish professor it banished from campus after he got into a verbal clash with a group of Pro-Palestinian student activists.

Economics professor John Strauss, who was required to teach remotely for the remainder of the fall semester, is now allowed to return to campus while the university investigates comments he made at a Pro-Palestine event in November.
