This directly effects Duke. If it’s too far into public policy, feel free to close the thread.
IMHO (where the H disappeared in the casbah), this is a good and newsy topic. I understand there was only a small amount of federal money involved. I will have no comment on the highlighted parts of the story that is linked:
WASHINGTON — The Education Department has ordered Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to remake the Middle East studies program run jointly by the two schools after concluding that
it was offering students a biased curriculum that, among other complaints, did not present enough “positive” imagery of Judaism and Christianity in the region.
