Amid lies and fabrications from members of Congress, @Columbia University president Minouche Shafik threw her faculty under the bus in the most cowardly and despicable manner. Here Joseph Massad responds to the vicous lies and defamations against him electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abun…
Of course, she did. Curious aside from personal experience: When my tenure case got torpedoed there years ago (and I thought it was ONLY the Ukrainians), my chair said, privately oc, that sometimes he felt as if he were in Israeli academia. And I had hardly posted anything about Palestine at that time. By now, I guess it was a fairly clear allusion.
@AliAbunimah @Columbia We're learning, during this new McCarthyism, that most university presidents couldn't lead a conga line.
@AliAbunimah @AsaWinstanley @Columbia Awful of Columbia not to come out fighting and stand up for decency when called upon to do so. This will all go the way of Harvard.
@AliAbunimah @DanMKervick @Columbia Literally the same accusations were launched against Massad 20 years ago and after much review he was cleared of any and all wrongdoing; they made a whole movie targeting him. Hmm who is the one being targeted on campuses …🤔?
@AliAbunimah @Columbia Shame on president Shafik. She is weak and grovelling, an embarrassment to higher education. She should defend the faculty and their academic freedom and take the opportunity to enlighten lawmakers about their use of outdated data. That would be an educational leader. Resign!
@AliAbunimah @AsaWinstanley @Columbia Most university admins are incredible cowards posing as fair weather liberals
@AliAbunimah @Columbia Everyone is Antisemitic if you don't agree with what the Jews are doing or saying..... sounds like Fascism to me..... but I thought they would gave a better idea of how that worded being as they were once oppressed by Fascist's ....right!?!? Or did I get it wrong somewhere?
@AliAbunimah @Columbia Have** would** sorry for the typos.. I have a crack in my screen 🙃
@AliAbunimah @bruculino @Columbia Shahid’s lack of values and integrity should disqualify her from heading an educational institution. She belongs in Wall Street.
@AliAbunimah @asadabukhalil @Columbia After the “Empanada” thing… I was afraid Rep. McClain will call her Manoushet Kishik! x.com/Hanine09/statu…
