Course cancellation had ‘nothing to do’ with her views
Talia Lavin was publicly embarrassed when her fact-checking skills were exposed as shoddy last year. She resigned in disgrace from The New Yorker after mistaking a U.S. military tattoo on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent for a Nazi image.
New York University’s journalism institute, incredibly, hired Lavin to teach a course on “reporting on the far right.â€
Now it turns out the university suffered bad PR for no reason: NYU canceled Lavin’s elective course after only two students signed up for it.
