Academic freedom is not academic license

Professor Michael Gross, Patron of the UK Council on Academic Freedom, challenges some academics of the Ben Gurion University, and argues to prove that that the BDS movement is itself at odds with the very concept of academic freedom, and it is essentially totalitarian, and indeed fascist in nature. It has no place – none at all – in a true university environment.

OPEN LETTER TO BOYCOTTING BRITISH SCIENTISTS

17 March 2009
When the German government of the 1930''s forbad the teaching of "Jewish science" such as relativity, they were operating rationally within their perverted frame of logic. In a rationality accepted by most of the public, including scientists, Jews had been deemed to be a pestilent menace. For the sake of humanity they needed to be eliminated from every aspect of society, and the urgency of this mission took precedence over the search for scientific truth...
 

Oxford Union Is Dead

This is an obituary for the Oxford Union, which claims to be, one of the most famous and distinguished debating societies in the world. The reality is that it is no longer a debating society at all; it has become a propaganda platform for extremist views, primarily of the hard-left. It is now stopped even pretending to present both sides of controversial issues...

SHOULD THIS ACADEMIC FRAUDSTER BE ENTERTAINED AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY?

The Coalition for Justice in the Middle East (CJME) and its splinter group, Students Confronting Apartheid in Israel (SCAI), are at it again; pulling no punches in their relentless campaign to demonize the Jewish People and delegitimize Israel. Tonight, the two student groups are stooping to new lows and aligning themselves with the most radical elements in the Middle East by hosting Norman Finkelstein on this campus...
 

Academic Freedom and Prejudice, Maurice’s letter: May 14, 2006

Re: Academic Freedom and Prejudice

Your words at the Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium last January, carried an admirable ring of sincerity. You said inter alia "It is essential that we raise our voices, as individuals and as a university community, to draw attention to prejudice, discrimination and neglect that hampers the fostering of that welcoming environment."...

SCARY EDUCATION PROSPECTS IN BRITAIN

The decision of the UK Association of University Teachers (AUT), to boycott Israeli universities gives cause for despair to any British mother hoping to provide her children with a meaningful education. It is not the decision to boycott that disturbs, but the totally irrational reasoning process...
 

Disturbing article in DePaulia

I was truly shocked to read this report that appeared in the magazine of DePaul University. If you read the article it appears in some way to highlight a hidden agenda here as it seems to be that your university actively espouses the Palestinian cause as evidenced by the hosting and financially supporting the Palestinian art exhibition which according to this article, is little more than political propaganda...
 

The monstrous regiment of British university teachers

The monstrous regiment of British university teachers
Melanie Phillip''s Diary
If anyone had ever told British academics that there would come a time when they would punish colleagues because of the views they held, and would treat them as pariahs and try to destroy their livelihoods in order to intimidate others into toeing the sole approved political line, they would have been incredulous. In the western tradition the universities are, after all, the custodians of free intellectual inquiry and open debate. Censorship, suppression of ideas and intellectual intimidation are associated with totalitarian regimes which attempt to coerce people into the approved way of thinking...

Israel, Campus Unreality and Democratic Reality Postmodern and post-Arafat.

My mother, past president of the Berkeley-Oakland Feminist Socialist Organization, is no stranger to the zany world of campus politics. Protesting Vietnam in the late 1960s, she encountered radicals of all stripes. But Israel, she recalls, was never one of their causes. Now, all campus radicals, no matter their inspiration-socialists, animal rights activists, ethnic racists, radical greens, alien cults-seem to have a problem with Israel...
