The battle over Title VI reform is definitely heating up. The academy can’t defend their boycott of national security scholarships or their dismal record of training language specialists to work for our defense and intelligence agencies (key justifications for Title VI subsidies). So they’ve settled on a strategy of claiming interference with academic freedom. I’ve got a column today rebutting that charge. And don’t miss Martin Kramer’s powerful attack on the false claims about HR 3077 being purveyed at Yale, and in the Los Angeles Times. Finally, I’ll be debating Title VI reform with Rashid Khalidi live on NPR’s Los Angeles station today at 11AM Pacific Time.
