How Qatari money is undermining free speech at universities – The Spectator

"Northwestern’s nonexistent response to recent Qatari censorship demonstrates why branch campuses in authoritarian nations are a bad idea. Northwestern has lent its credibility to the propaganda of an authoritarian and anti-Western regime, whitewashing its censorship and inevitably participating in self-censorship to maintain ties.... As long as the Medill School of Journalism continues to work with Qatar, its commitment to 'fight for the freedom of the press' will remain hollow."

Well at least NU got rid of that anti American, Woke, pompous Shapiro. Maybe the new administration can turn things around– but this isn’t a very good sign is it?

Northwestern has become an embarrassment to Chicago and IL, not that we needed any more.

I can’t imagine spending Northwestern money on a major in Journalism. What a downer it must be to get into a prestigious school only to take up a garbage major.

It’s like finding out your daughter brings home her doctor boyfriend for the first time, and when you ask him what specialty, he answers “sociology”.
