Pada tahun 2007, setelah terjadi perselisihan antara Finkelstein dan Alan Dershowitz, masa bakti Finkelstein di DePaul dihentikan. Finkelstein dikenai cuti administratif untuk tahun akademik 2007–2008, dan pada 5 September 2007, ia menyatakan pengunduran dirinya setelah menerima ganti rugi dari pihak universitas. Dalam pernyataan resminya, DePaul membenarkan keputusannya untuk menghentikan masa bakti Finkelstein sambil menyatakan bahwa keputusan tersebut tidak dipengaruhi oleh pihak luar.
