Quote of the Week   —   Posted on February 28, 2006

“Something is very wrong at our elite universities. Last week Larry Summers resigned as president of Harvard when it became clear he would lose a no-confidence vote held by politically correct faculty members furious at his efforts to allow ROTC on campus, his opposition to a drive to have Harvard divest itself of corporate investments in Israel, and his efforts to make professors work harder. Now Yale is giving a first-class education to an erstwhile high official in one of the most evil regimes of the latter half of the 20th century–the government that harbored the terrorists who attacked America on Sept. 11, 2001.”
John Fund of the Wall Street Journal, commenting on Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, former ambassador-at-large for the Taliban, who is now studying at Yale on a U.S. student visa.
