The Georgetown Review secured a report from academic watchdog Campus Watch, a project of the Middle East Forum, that details troubling financial and ideological connections between Georgetown’s various Middle East studies faculty and Islamism, anti-Western scholarship, and anti-Semitism dating back to the 1970s.
Entitled “Islamists, Apologists, and Fellow Travelers: Middle East Studies Faculty at Georgetown,†the report segments the professors at the center of the Campus Watch investigation into two categories, the “old†and “new†guard, and illustrates the questionable ideological and political affiliations of the field’s most prominent staff.
