Katherine M. Franke is an American legal scholar who specializes in gender and sexuality law. She was the James L. Dohr Professor of Law at Columbia Law School. In January 2024, after a Columbia student, who was a former member of the IDF, was involved in spraying an odorous substance at pro-Palestinian students Franke stated she had concerns about Israeli students coming to Columbia “right out of their military service”. An external investigation concluded in November that Franke had violated the university's equal opportunity and affirmative action policies; Franke appealed the decision. In January, 2025, Franke said she had effectively been terminated from Columbia University although the university characterized it as a retirement.
