So say editorials in both the New York Post (Columbia’s New Low) and the New York Daily News (Untenable: Bullying Columbia professor does not deserve lifetime employment) in reaction to the rumor that Joseph Massad has received tenure.
Martin Kramer comments on the news here and here. Volokh’s David Bernstein comments here.
I’m glad to see the incessant comparisons of Jews to Nazis that are the stock in trade of people like Massad are in themselves becoming part of the controversy and something that puts the speaker beyond the pale in polite society.
