Reader comment on item: [Campus Watch and] Saving Mideast Studies
Submitted by Steven Hess (United States), Sep 18, 2003 at 14:45
For decades I sang my Alma Mater's praises, polished my class ring and participated in the alumni program to interview applicants. Then I heard and read what has been going on in Columbia's Middle East Studies program and the garbage voiced byEdward Said, Nicholas de Genova and others of their ilk. "Birzeit-on-the-Hudson," indeed. And all the while a gutless administration peeps; "freedom of expression"
A Thank You to"Campus Watch" for shining a light in the rat hole.
