Excerpt:
'FIU names Saif Ishoof VP for Engagement.' This was the headline of a press release sent out by Florida International University (FIU) in March. Does the Miami, Florida-based school know that the individual it appointed to this position is a radical Muslim involved in extremist causes and institutions?
According to the website of FIU's Office of Engagement, "The office provides leadership for the development and coordination of partnerships at the local, state, national and international levels with the goal of aligning FIU's instructional, research and creative initiatives with local and global needs and priorities."
On March 6, FIU published a press release stating that it had granted its position of Vice President of its Office of Engagement to Guyana-born Saif Yamani Ishoof, who the school described as a "dynamic leader who is well known in South Florida for his commitment to partnerships and to improving the lives of young people." The Miami Herald quotes Ishoof as saying that, in his new role, he will be responsible for "linking students, faculty and administrators with the outside world."
