The wonderful world of UofT academia...
In defense of academic freedom
An open letter to the U of T community:
Quote:
|
Daniel Pipes has been invited to speak on "Radical Islam and the War on Terror" at the University of Toronto by a newly formed local chapter of his Middle East Forum -an organization that "promotes American interests in the Middle East" and monitors criticism of US and Israeli policies in the media and academia. We feel obliged to inform the university community and the residents of this city that Pipes is someone who has used freedom of speech in order to restrict the academic freedom of those whom he attacks from his position outside the academic world

I did enjoy his "un-patriotic professors watch-list", or more particularlly that he was swamped with requests to be added to the list, to be in solidaritry with those already on it.
