New York University’s Center on Law and Security allowed one of its fellows, Nir Rosen, to resign after he tweeted vile things about CBS war correspondent Lara Logan, who sustained a brutal sexual assault and beating in Cairo during pro-democracy celebrations. Why did the center’s executive director, Karen Greenberg, allow him to resign rather than to use the opportunity to take a tougher stand? Here's what she told me:
“Nir has always been a really good supporter of the center and I think he realized he had overstepped his bounds....”
...Logan was with a CBS crew in Tahrir Square last Friday when they were surrounded by “a mob of more than 200 people whipped into a frenzy. In the crush of the mob, [Logan] was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers.”...
Rosen inexplicably decided to make something of a joke of the whole thing and put out a series of tweets, including:
*“Lara Logan had to outdo Anderson. Where was her buddy McCrystal." (That is a reference to...retired Gen. Stanley Allen McChrystal, who was forced to resign as commander of troops in Afghanistan by President Obama for unflattering comments about administration officials in a Rolling Stone article.)
*“Yes yes its wrong what happened to her. Of course. I don’t support that. But, it would have been funny if it happened to Anderson too.”
*“Jesus Christ, at a moment when she is going to become a martyr and glorified we should at least remember her role as a major war monger”
*“Look, she was probably groped like thousands of other women, which is still wrong, but if it was worse than [sic] I’m sorry.”...

He was effectively “fired”. I’m sure he didn’t tender his resignation voluntarily. But NYU didn’t want to appear “intolerant” and so decided to play it this way.
He is not on the faculty. Screen shot of his tweets, and other stuff at Weasel Zippers. What a scumbag:
He’s a JINO.
From what I understand, he was a teaching fellow, which of course would be a step, or two beneath a tenured professor, on most college campuses - but I'm not entirely sure how it works at NYU.
It does not sound like he is resigning from the faculty-only from the center. I wonder if his peers will put pressure on him to leave the faculty. UNLILKELY

A look at the other “fellows” at NYU is a real eye-opener, many JINOs amongst them:

Warning: barf alert.
And we have CINO’s. We’ve all being infiltrated by this sickness.
Rosen, Soros, and Chomsky would all have been happy volunters as fellow jew murdering kapos at Auschwitz.
No... some ancestor of his was Jewish. This guy's ethnicity and religion is 100% Commie. Calling him Jewish is an honor he does not deserve.
Logan to Greenberg to Rosen! A Jewish infield????????????????????
Logan isn’t Jewish.
I guess the author doesn’t understand that in the really real world, outside of McDonalds, you don’t have a (singular) boss that points and you and says “You’re fired”. They just ask for your resignation by the end of the day.
Raped and beaten by the peaceful crowd overthrowing their government and this POS cheers. Perhaps he will be the butt of someone’s joke in a similar situation one day.

Your comment would be idiotic even if Logan were Jewish...which she isn't.
Because by allowing him to resign, this fellow leftist of theirs may make himself into something yet. If he was fired that would just be mean and he could never become a presidential advisor.
