New Research Study: Faculty Promote Their Anti-Israel Agenda In Classes

Posted by Samantha Mandeles on January 13, 2020 15 Comments

For a recent example, see the latest attempt by a small minority of faculty to pass a BDS resolution at the American Historical Association's annual meeting in American Historical Association Rejects Anti-Israel Resolution for the 4th Time.
