Columbia University’s report on the scandal in its program of Middle East Studies is itself a scandal. We already know the report was a whitewash, produced by a panel stacked with professors with ties to those under investigation and/or signers of an anti-Israel divestment petition. And we know that Columbia conspired with reporters at The New York Times to produce a biased front page story that would exonerate the university by excluding the opinions of critics. Now Martin Kramer may have uncovered a totally new dimension of the Columbia coverup. Columbia needs to come clean about what looks like it could be a very important source of outside pressure on its report.
