The other day I wrote about Northwestern University’s craven capitulation to its hate-filled pro-Hamas pro-Palestine anti-Israel anti-Jewish demonstrators. So I’m very much in favor of this move by the Equal Protection Project: On April 29, 2024, Northwestern University struck a … Continue reading →
When I first saw the headlines for this story I thought they were satirical. They are not. I think Northwestern has actually succeeded in out-dhimmi-ing Columbia, which is saying something: In the face of illegal “encampments” and violence, the Northwestern … Continue reading →
Lately there’s been a great deal of talk around the blogosphere about Khymani James, the student leader – if the movement can be said to have a leader – of Columbia’s anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and anti-Enlightenment demonstrations and encampments. It makes … Continue reading →

Minouche Shafik is president of Columbia University, and like the troika of other Ivy college presidents before her who testified before the House about campus anti-Semitism, she recently was interviewed by that legislative body. Shafik had the advantage of having … Continue reading →
Commenter “AesopFan” helpfully offered this tweet from Christopher Rufo, relevant to this post from yesterday concerning whether black female professors are disproportionately involved in plagiarism: One of the ironies to this accusation is that I have explicitly asked my sources … Continue reading →
One side speaks: Chris Rufo & his allies are leading a plagiarism witch hunt and creating the false impression that Black women disproportionately plagiarize. Universities like Harvard must take back control of the narrative and conduct plagiarism reviews of all … Continue reading →
Here’s another case alleging research misconduct by a DEI academician: The chief diversity officer of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, LaVar Charleston, who also teaches at the university’s school of education, has a decades-long track record of research misconduct, according to … Continue reading →
