A classic moment in craven cowardice, as Yale University Press publishes a book on the Mohammed cartoon madness — and deliberately omits the actual cartoons themselves.
Allahpundit says he’s been tipped off that Yale is about to announce a decision in the case of Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, former ambassador-at-large for the murderous Afghan Taliban, admitted to Yale as a special student: Breaking: Decision reached on Yale Taliban.
Just realized I forgot to note that anti-Israel wacademic Juan Cole will not be teaching at Yale after all; I believe Power Line was first to report it: No teacher for Taliban Man. (Hat tip: LGF readers.) Inside Higher Ed has reactions from Cole’s colleagues in the wacademy, at least one ...
John Fund reports that Yale may be about to ditch former Taliban ambassador Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi—but in another almost unbelievable move, they’re considering hiring notorious anti-Israel wacademic Juan Cole: Cole Fire. In the next few days the university may hire Juan Cole, a history professor at the University of Michigan, to ...
I was going to mock this ridiculous example of mushy multiculturalist backwardsthink in the Yale Daily News, but it really isn’t funny to see college students so utterly bereft of critical thinking skills that they’re unable to recognize real evil when it’s staring them in the face: University should be ...
The elitist attitude of wacademia is on fine display in this article at Inside Higher Ed, about Yale’s admission of a Taliban ambassador: The Elite Ex-Taliban. “The outsiders are largely right-wing commentators,” says Zachariah Victor, a member of Yale’s Graduate and Professional Student Senate. “They don’t have reason, science or history ...
Yale is apparently considering the addition of a new major in Modern Middle Eastern Studies, and some students think the problem with the current program is that it’s too pro-United States. NELC major Tammer Qaddumi ‘06 said he thinks the current NELC program is “totally outdated” due to its emphasis on ...
The group who facilitated Taliban spokesman Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi’s funding and acceptance to Yale is The International Education Foundation, and here’s a PDF document from their web site that shows the fuzzy-headed fluffy bunny reasoning behind it: International Education Bridge: The Pitch for Hashemi. (Hat tip: gs.) OUR PLAN ...is to create ...

Female Afghan parliamentarian Malalai Joya gave a speech at Yale University on Thursday night criticizing US policy in Afghanistan, and had very strong words about Yale’s admission of a former Taliban spokesman: Joya talks on Afghanistan, Hashemi. (Hat tip: Hulugu.) Joya said there has been no fundamental change in democratization and ...
Yale is really circling the wagons over the case of former Taliban spokesman/now Yale student Syed Rahmatullah Hashmi. Evan Coyne Maloney was thrown off campus yesterday when he tried to get a statement from administrators.
Courtesy of the September 19, 2001 edition of the New York Times, here’s a picture of Taliban ambassador Syed Rahmatullah Hashmi, now attending Yale University, as he exhibits evil Christian literature confiscated from Western relief groups: Taliban: From Vigilantes to Strict Rulers.

John Fund follows up on the case of Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, former ambassador-at-large for the murderous Afghan Taliban, admitted to Yale as a special student: Taliban Man at Yale. Former Yale president Benno Schmidt says admitting Mr. Hashemi is an exercise in “amorality and cynicism.” He told me that “diversity simply ...
Yale’s response to the criticism over their admission of a Taliban representative is to say nothing and hope it blows over. But John Fund looks at one Yale official’s unofficial response, in the latest episode of When Wacademics Attack! You’ve Got Mail (It’s From Yale). (Hat tip: Ethel.) The president’s alma ...
