NEWARK -- A New Jersey university is reviewing a video interview in which one of its professors foresees a future where concentration camps will return to Europe, and Adolf Hitler will appear on the currency and be considered a "great European leader."

The video featuring New Jersey Institute of Technology lecturer Jason Reza Jorjani surfaced as part of a New York Times opinion piece about a Swedish graduate student who went undercover in the world of the alt-right on behalf of Hope Not Hate, a British anti-racism group.

"The statements made by Mr. Jorjani in a video recently published by 'The New York Times' are repugnant and antithetical to our institution's core values. We presently are conducting a review of this matter and will provide additional information as soon as that review is complete, the statement read.

"NJIT is a university that embraces diversity and sees it as a source of strength."

Though Jorjani did not immediately reply Friday to request for comment on the video and his status at NJIT, he did post a statement to his website Wednesday condemning the article and video.

He slams the student for filming video without his knowledge, and says the video has been "deceptively edited to make it appear as if I am advocating genocidal extreme right-wing policies."

The student, Patrik Hermansson, said he secretly recorded his conversations with Jorjani and other alt-right leaders as part of the project, which culminated in a Hope Not Hate report on the alt-right and its expansion around the world.

Jorjani, an Iranian American, founded the AltRight Corporation, an entity aimed at connecting the American and European alt-right movements. He has since resigned from the organization. In the video, Jorjani also talks of his ties to the Trump administration -- claims he backed off of in an interview with the article's author, Jesse Singal.

The White House denied any connection to Jorjani in the report.

"My nightmarish prediction of a future that would follow from western policymakers' failure to address the Muslim migrant crisis in the present has been taken out of context and made to appear as if it is advocacy for 'concentration camps and expulsions and war... at the cost of a few hundred million people,'" Jorjani wrote.
