A Harvard University alumnus, previously accused of assaulting an Israeli peer during a widely publicized “die-in” protest in October 2023, has reportedly been employed by the prestigious institution.

As reported by the Washington Free Beacon, Elom Tettey-Tamaklo, a graduate of Harvard’s Divinity School, commenced his role as a graduate teaching fellow this August.

The National Review indicates that in this position, Tettey-Tamaklo aids faculty members with curriculum development and provides expertise on intricate academic topics. His compensation might include a stipend that could reach up to $11,000.

The protest, which followed a Hamas attack, saw Tettey-Tamaklo caught on video confronting Yoav Segev, a first-year student at Harvard Business School, as Segev attempted to document the event, according to the National Review.

In 2023, at the campus protest, Tettey-Tamaklo was filmed confronting a first-year Harvard Business School student.

Tettey-Tamaklo was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery. Later, a judge ordered him to complete anger-management classes, take a Harvard negotiation course and complete 80 hours of community service.

After fulfilling those terms, a Boston Municipal Court judge dismissed the case in November 2024.

Despite the controversy, Harvard allowed Tettey-Tamaklo to continue his studies at the Ivy League school before hiring him in his new role.

In 2023, the assault incident drew interest from the Trump administration, which asked Harvard to investigate the confrontation and expel Tettey-Tamaklo and other students involved.

At the time, it warned that the university’s federal funding depended on ensuring a campus free from antisemitic harassment.

Harvard declined to impose academic sanctions beyond removing Tettey-Tamaklo from a proctor position due to what officials described as “student discomfort.”

Tettey-Tamaklo was not the only student charged. Harvard Law School graduate Ibrahim Bharmal also took part in the protest and faced the same assault charges.

Harvard continued to support him, and he later received a $65,000 Harvard Law Review fellowship.

According to reports from the Harvard Crimson, at the time, both defendants maintained that they did not make physical contact with Segev and argued that they were subjected to racially biased policing by the Harvard University Police Department.

The outlet said the police report indicated that protesters pressed their torsos against Segev as they tried to block his camera, though the officers identified Tettey-Tamaklo, Bharmal and one other individual as the “most prolific and aggressive.”

Meanwhile, Segev has filed a federal lawsuit accusing Harvard of failing to protect him and obstructing efforts to seek disciplinary action.

He alleges the university used “misleading tactics” that prevented him from pursuing administrative remedies during the criminal investigation.
