Dear Editor: The AP story by Justin Pope, “Thunder from the campus right,” published in the Capital Times Dec. 28, cites the case of Columbia University, where our film, “Columbia Unbecoming,” documented the harassment and intimidation of students by professors hostile to Israel.
But this is not…a case of “liberal vs. conservative (writes Charles Jacobs, president of The David Project in Boston)…. It has to do with the dominance in many of our country’s Middle East studies departments by Arabists and radicals, and the indifference of university administrators.
