The academia (the artsy-fartsy dept usually) is usually taught by communist/socialist anti-West types who teach nothing but propaganda. The worst offenders are in the Ivy League Schools.

Until we get rid of people like these in our universities, the war on terror is just a farce.

A voice from America's crackpot fringe? Actually, Dabashi is a tenured professor and department chairman at Columbia University.

Huh? Columbia University IS the crackpot fringe!

Any alum who contributes support to Columbia is supporting hatred of Jews and Israel. The list of contributors should be posted here on Free Republic.

The ivy league schools simply are utterly and completely OVERRATED academically, culturally, and politically. Bit by bit, their gross inadequacies as institutions are coming to light.

[SlowBoat407]

Not only do I not contribute to the alumni fund. I want my tuition money back!

Delenda est Columbia.

These people are scum. I hope they are being thoroughly investigated, and get deported if they so much as get caught jaywalking. Filth.

i met a latino university of california doctoral student recently.

he had the same opinions--israel was all wrong, the u.s. was all wrong, etc.

I'm a Columbia grad, and haven't given them a cent for this very reason.

These incidents are nothing new at Columbia. I was an attendee at the conference mentioned in the articles below. I was an 18-year old freshman from the University of Delaware at the time, and the whole incident surrounding this conference really opened my eyes to the hatred of the Left.

Most, if not all, of these crackpots teach(?) their vile bile in classes that an intelligent student dismisses as non-essential to future needs. The only truly needful classes are the real sciences, mathematics, engineering and other fact based studies. Junk courses that are requirements of the university's curricula are forgotten as soon as the door closes on the last semester's class......

One way to do that is to place your kids and your money in schools that more closely represent your own views........Our children will not be going to any "poison" ivy league schools or any liberal arts colleges with professors like Columbia's.

Money talks bullsh!t walks.................

I am a proud contributor to Columbia University, my alma mater.

I am repulsed by the anti-Israel bias that I read about in this and other articles, and I am grateful that they are being publicized. The more publicity, the better.

In my opinion, the department of Middle East Studies is sick and contaminated and should be thoroughly revamped (does Porter Goss have a brother?). But it's wrong to tar the entire university with the same brush.

Perhaps you saw the articles by Anne Bayefsky, an adjunct professor at Columbia's Law School, pointing out the rank hypocracy of the UN in -- among other areas -- cravenly calling for Jews to disassociate themselves from Zionism at a conference on anti-Semitism. There are myriad other examples of pro-Israel (and non-anti-Israel) teaching and cultural activity there, and religious Jewish students are able to live a fully Jewish life as Columbia students.

Recently Robert Kraft, an alumnus, dedicated a large Jewish center at Columbia which serves as the centerpoint for Jewish activity on campus. From what I hear, it does this job quite well.
