Last year, as the 2023-2024 academic year came to an end, I was feeling fortunate to be teaching at the Rochester Institute of Technology, a school that had successfully stopped the anti-Israel madness that had taken over much of academia. Since several friends had children who were completing their degrees, I decided to attend the graduation […]
Harvard, Not Ready For Its Close-Up
Harvard is no doubt hoping that its just-released report on antisemitism at the university — that is, its admission of antisemitism on its campus that it failed to appropriately deal with — will quiet its critics. But it won’t, because there is a great deal that Harvard left out of its mea-culpa report. And how […]
Mohsen Mahdawi: More to the Story
According to much of the media, Mohsen Mahdawi was unjustly arrested by the fascistic and racist Trump administration. Mahdawi, that media assures us, has neither done nor said anything wrong. He says so himself, and who would know better what Mohsen Mahdawi is all about, what are his hopes and dreams, than Mohsen Mahdawi? He […]
Antisemitism at Harvard: At Massachusetts Hall, They Still Don’t Get It
The President of Harvard and the university’s other high muck-a-mucks have their offices in stately Massachusetts Hall, from where they are masters of all they survey (and some things they can’t survey, like the colonial-settler outpost Harvard has created in Allston). But now some people, including formerly generous alumni who have now turned off the […]
At Princeton, ‘We Can’t Hire a White Guy’
The indomitable Christopher Rufo recently interviewed a professor at Princeton — who preferred to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation by a vindictive university administration — on President Christopher Eisgruber and the “systemic racism” that now prevails at the university he directs. More can be found here: “’We Can’t Hire a White Guy’—a Professor on […]
Campus Brownshirts On Their Uppers
All it took, apparently, was a change in administrations. Now, with the Trump administration withholding billions of dollars in funding to colleges and universities that fail to suppress the antisemitic stormtroopers who last year harassed, roughed up, and silenced Israeli and Jewish students on their campuses, suddenly many — though not all — of these […]
Peter Beinart, Anti-Zionist Jew, Taken Down Yet Again
Elder of Ziyon has a coruscating account of the latest screed by Peter Beinart, the anti-Zionist Jew who has made a career out of denouncing Israel and those who support the Jewish state. That takedown of Beinart, and of the New York Times that continues to provide Beinart with a platform, can be found here: […]
After 300 Arrests at Campus Hamas Riots, LA Will Charge Only 2 Jews
Hamas supporters get a pass. Jewish community members get charged. During the UCLA Hamas riots, it was routine for the terrorist supporters to mace and assault Jewish community members and students. And for campus security to refuse to intervene, take down evidence or call the police. The media covered up the situation. And even those […]
Columbia Janitors Sue Their Pro-Hamas Tormentors
At Columbia, in April 2024, forty pro-Hamas brownshirts — both students and non-students — invaded Hamilton Hall, barricaded themselves inside, and proceeded to vandalize the building, painting slogans on walls, smashing furniture and causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage. They remained inside for four days, and were finally pulled out and arrested by […]
Trump Administration Wants Colleges to Reveal Foreign Donors
The Trump administration is not letting up in its determination to make American colleges and universities shape up and fly right. First, it has asked the universities to supply the administration with information on what they have been doing to record, punish, and prevent antisemitic acts on their campuses. Second, the administration has asked them […]
