UPDATE ON THE PROBLEMS AT COLUMBIA UNIV.

NYC to probe anti-Israel bias?
The New York City Council may call for an outside investigation into charges of faculty intimidation toward Jewish students at Columbia University. The move comes after a documentary alleging anti-Israel bias by some professors prompted the university to call for an internal investigation. However, if the investigation “comes up dry,” then “we would really have to have an independent group doing its own investigation,” Michael Nelson, a Brooklyn Democrat who chairs the council’s Jewish caucus, told the New York Sun. Nelson told the Sun that he and other council members pledged to focus on the issue after viewing, “Columbia Unbecoming,” a documentary produced by the David Project, a Boston-based Israel advocacy group.
