They claim that Klocek began shouting profanities at them and told them that their religion was based on terror.

When one student interjected that she was Palestinian, the students claim that Klocek began to shout and throw the material on their stall at them, at which point students from a neighboring exhibit, the United Muslims Moving Ahead got involved.

During the yearly Loop Student Fair campus event where student groups setup exhibits in the school's cafeteria, Klocek approached the exhibit maintained by Students for Justice in Palestine.

Klocek claims that he approached the group because he disagreed with the content of the groups ' leaflets.

Klocek was escorted out of the cafeteria by campus security, but returned and made a gesture towards the students, before leaving again.

Klocek also acknowledged that he returned and confronted the students again after being escorted away by campus security, but he claims that the gesture he made with his hand, involved flicking his thumb at his chin, which he argued is an Italian New Jersey expression meaning, " I'm finished " or " I'm out of here ".

As the debate became more heated, Klocek claims that the students compared Israel to Nazi Germany at which point a shouting match ensued.

Klocek denies throwing the exhibit material at the students and claims that he put that back in a stack.

The U. S. District Court of Kansas in Klocek ruled that the contract of sale was complete at the time of the transaction, and the additional shipped terms contained in a document similar to that in Brower did not constitute a contract, because the customer never agreed to them when the contract of sale was completed.

DePaul University offered Klocek, who was not tenured, the continuation of his teaching position if he apologized to the students for his behavior.

Klocek, who did not have a PhD, noted that initially he took the part-time position because he was working on a doctoral thesis, but that got caught up in his teaching and never finished his dissertation.

Klocek wrote a response to the story, which was also printed in the paper.

Klocek, along with a number of conservative bloggers, claimed that at heart the issue was one of freedom of speech and academic freedom.

At particular issue is the difference in opinion between the courts in Klocek v. Gateway and Brower v. Gateway.

FIRE and others have criticized the university's decision to suspend without public hearing and not renew the contract of part-time faculty member Thomas E. Klocek in September 2004 for comments made to and behaviour towards Palestinian students concerning the conflict with Israel.

One line of cases follows ProCD v. Zeidenberg which held such contracts enforceable ( e. g. Brower v Gateway ), and the other follows Klocek v. Gateway, Inc, which found them unenforceable.

One line of cases follows ProCD v. Zeidenberg which held such contracts enforceable ( see, e. g., Bowers v. Baystate Technologies ) and the other follows Klocek v. Gateway, Inc., which found the contracts at hand unenforceable ( e. g., Specht v. Netscape Communications Corp .), but did not comment on shrink wrap contracts as a whole.
