This guy is either the dumbest Ivy League bigwig ever or politically correct to a fault — for welcoming offers to bring ISIS and Hamas to Cornell University.
A video sting operation shows Cornell’s assistant dean for students, Joseph Scaffido, agreeing to everything suggested by an undercover muckraker posing as a Moroccan student.
Scaffido casually endorses inviting an ISIS “freedom fighter’’ to conduct a “training camp” for students at the upstate Ithaca campus — bizarrely likening the activity to a sports camp.
Is it OK to bring a humanitarian pro-“Islamic State Iraq and Syria” group on campus, the undercover for conservative activist James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas asks.
Sure, Scaffido says in the recorded March 16 meeting.
Scaffido doesn’t even blink an eye when the undercover asks about providing material support for terrorists — “care packages, whether it be food, water, electronics.”
How about supporting Hamas?
No problem at all, Scaffido said.

No, my reasoned response to your indefensible comments were not based on emotion. They were based on the rational assumption that the dean understands that his job entails more responsibility than the position of rookie assistant fry cook at a burger joint. As such he should be expected to think before he speaks. Falling for a line of questions beneath that of a middling prosecutor is to fail at his job. To be subjected to questions that seek to bring out his competence or lack thereof is something that comes with positions of - responsibility. If one can’t stand the heat...
I'm assuming mostly #1 but perhaps a combination of both.
"Hanlon's razor": Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
Wow
It’s obvious that the college administrator is an idiot.
Look at his attire. Listen to his rote answers. I don’t think he even knows that Islamic State in Iraq and Syria is ISIS. Heck, he may not even know what ISIS is.
Affirmative action promotee, betcha.

You sure?
They are already slashing the ticket prices.
The money goes to the shallow end of the pool!
They tricked him to say...he's very liberal..and so is the city.
They tricked him to say...sure..we can have a member of ISIS come and speak to the students.
They tricked him....
Yeah...that's the ticket.......
Wonder how Sandy Weill is taking this revelation?
Does your fraternity own the house?
I heard Sean Hannity talking to James O’Keefe and he said the phone lines to Cornell are hot over this!
About time people need to YANK their kids out of these liberal colleges!!!
Let us recall that guns were introduced to academia during the takeover of Cornell's Willard Sraight Hall on April 19, 1969
