From the description accompanying this YouTube video:
"This was an immediate heartfelt response by Professor Tony Hall recorded moments after this tenured faculty member was suspended without pay. It was filmed & then uploaded by Jeremy Rothe-Kushel to let people know about the assault on Hall, and by implication, the assault on tenure, the bastion of academic freedom in institutions of higher learning."
From one of the comments, which provides more explanation for the trumped up charges against Tony Hall:

President, University of Lethbridge
Dear Dr. Mahon,
I’m writing in response to the ongoing orchestrated attack on Professor Anthony Hall. The smear campaign against Professor Hall is an attack on the entire academy. Its purpose is to terrorize academicians into remaining silent on controversial issues. If successful, the media lynching of Professor Hall would grossly undermine academic freedom, especially the institution of tenure.
The lynchpin (no pun intended) of the anti-Hall campaign is a horrific image that was planted on Professor Hall’s Facebook page – unbeknownst to Professor Hall, who had absolutely nothing to do with that image. The grossly offensive image, which features a Jewish man being strangled alongside ultra-inflammatory text calling for the killing of “all Jews,” was in fact created by an allegedly self-employed propagandist named Joshua Goldberg, who was later arrested for his efforts to create incidents of so-called “Islamic terrorism.” Obviously Joshua Goldberg created his horrific “kill all Jews” image not because he himself is anti-Jewish, but rather as a way to manufacture false evidence of “anti-Semitism” that could later be used against people like Professor Hall. Goldberg appears to have created this awful image precisely to fit the definition of hate speech. It is a weaponized image. The weapon was used against Anthony Hall precisely in the way its creator intended.
When planted evidence is used against a victim, it is the criminals who manufactured and planted the evidence, not the victim, who are at fault. Joshua Goldberg, B’nai Brith, and the individual or entity who planted this hate speech on Professor Hall’s Facebook page all ought to be investigated for their respective roles in this orchestrated smear campaign against Professor Hall.
The institution of tenure exists for one reason and one reason only: To ensure that even the most controversial avenues of research and interpretation are fully protected in our academy. Professor Hall is using his tenure properly. Are you? Is anyone else at the University of Lethbridge? If not, why not? How can you, or any other professor, justify holding tenure if you are not, in fact, making every possible effort to challenge the most sacrosanct public myths, and to pursue the most controversial avenues of research and interpretation?
Sincerely,
Dr. Kevin Barrett"
I know Tony Hall and have great respect for him as a 9/11 Truther and a fearless researcher of controversial political issues. I hope that concerned citizens will support him in his battle with the university to permit free speech and free inquiry into unpopular issues such as 9/11 truth.
