A California University’s Troubling Terrorism Ties

Leslie Wong

In an article appearing today at Independent Journal Review, Campus Watch West Coast representative Cinnamon Stillwell outlines CW’s investigation into San Francisco State University (SFSU)'s memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a Palestinian University, An-Najah, notorious for terrorist indoctrination and recruitment. Tellingly, SFSU’s administration only indirectly corroborates the MOU and SFSU President Leslie Wong refuses to answer CW’s repeated inquiries about its contents. In response to Wong’s stonewalling, CW announces its plans to ensure that SFSU comes clean about the details and implications of its partnership with Najah:

San Francisco State University (SFSU), which has a well-deserved reputation as a breeding ground for anti-Israel radicalism, became national news in April. That’s when campus police stood by as a hate-Israel group, the General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS), shouted down and disrupted a lecture by Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, prompting much criticism of SFSU’s president, Leslie Wong.

But there’s worse. As revealed by an investigation into SFSU by Campus Watch, a project of the Middle East Forum, SFSU has partnered with a Palestinian university that’s a hotbed of radicalization.
