Court Rules that Carnegie Mellon University Can Be Held Accountable for Taking Qatar Money to Permit Antisemitic Hatred on Campus

From the Wall Street Journal: a student is suing Carnegie Mellon University. She says that she was harassed by antisemitic Muslims, but was discouraged from filing a complaint.

She is suing on the theory that Carnegie Mellon discriminated against her because they were paid $1 billion by Qatar to permit antisemitic attacks on campus.

A judge refused to dismiss this complaint and says that a "reasonable jury" may well find that Carnegie Mellon allowed the brutalization of its Jewish students due to the Qatar bribe. So the case goes forward.

@EFischberger

Newly unsealed federal court orders point to massive Qatari funding shaping Carnegie Mellon's behavior and enabling antisemitism on campus:

🔸 A federal judge said a reasonable juror could conclude that CMU's reliance on over $1 billion from Qatar motivated the university to accommodate donor expectations

🔸 Qatari entities helped fund the salary of CMU's DEI and Title IX coordinator, and the university was required to consult with the Qatar Foundation before hiring her

🔸 Multiple DEI officials involved in handling antisemitism complaints had work ties to Qatar, including trips, funding, or employment connected to the Doha campus

🔸 The court explicitly warned that Qatar and its affiliates could be a source of antisemitic influence on university policy and complaint handling

🔸 Similar contracts at CMU and Northwestern University require faculty and students to respect Qatari law, which criminalizes criticism of the Qatari government

🔸 Department of Education data shows Qatar is the single largest foreign funder of US universities by far, outpacing China and Saudi Arabia

Academic freedom and student civil rights should not be contingent on appeasing foreign autocracies. Congress needs to take this problem seriously, fast.

To summarize: Carnegie Mellon took over $1 billion from Qatar and gave the Qatar Foundation a say in the hiring of their VP of DEI, and now the school is being sued by a Jewish student who says the VP of DEI discouraged her from filing a formal antisemitism complaint...yikes.

If they have a campus in Qatar, then fine. Follow the local laws there and if you don't like them, then don't do business in that locality.

I don't think she has to prove she was religiously discriminated against because of the Qatar bribe. I think all she has to do is prove that she was discriminated against because she is Jewish. It doesn't matter why. Put another way, I don't think "motive" is an element of a Title VI claim. But it certainly helps to have a motive. The bribe is a nice gift-wrapped motive.

47 Irrelevant to this university, but perhaps not irrelevant to the overall wider topic of college, I saw an interesting ad recently.

It was for one of these online colleges that advertises heavily. It boiled down to, "sure, lots of people are saying college isn't worth it and are choosing to do something else instead, but we provide really good value so you should still consider us."

That's a a *huge* shift in approach. If they're taking that tack, they're probably hearing that a lot during recruitment. "College? Nah. GFY" must be increasingly common if they're now directly addressing it in advertising.

I hope that these guys as essentially a commercial college are just the first visible crack that ultimately brings down the colleges. Outfits like CMU are in a different category and will be immune to that kind of change, but most schools are not in that category.

Back in the day, I taught Administrative Law and our university had a contract to teach local government officials from China. There was always an intel minder in the all Chinese cohort classes. The other students would always defer to him and usually that student was the worst in the class relying on his classmates to get him through the class with a minimal passing grade. Saw that pattern for several years until the contract ended.

the girls' school DID send girls to CMU

the boys' school (they are affiliated) could NOT

it was the gender and the race and the location (PA). all dings. the boys school had more ivy placements however. it was just known (to the admissions people) not to bother applying to CMU

and that played out ... no one got in.

Khasshoggi, instead of his uncle Adnan, the arms dealer, was a registered agent of Qatar in the US and basically slapped his name on Qatar ghostwritten PR statements as a 'journalist'. Basically a front man for the Al Thani family that was also stirring up trouble in Saudi royal succession at the time.

MBS took it personally and had Khashoggi painfully wacked by Saudi intel peeps.

Wasn't reported much here but the Saudis and the rest of the Gulf States don't much like the Al Thanis and at one point during the Trump I term, I think, threatened to invade and remove them.

Wiki
"In June 2017, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, the Maldives, Mauritania, Senegal, Djibouti, the Comoros, Jordan, the Tobruk-based Libyan government and finally the Hadi-led Yemeni government severed diplomatic relations with Qatar and blocked Qatar's airspace and sea routes along with Saudi Arabia blocking the only land crossing over its relations with Iran, Al-Jazeera reporting negative information about other GCC states and Egypt and the country's alleged support of Islamist groups."

230 Both the ideas that the criminalization of criticism of Qatar should be respected in the US and that American courts should be a weapon in the hands of Jews to outlaw anti-Semitic opinions or expression are contrary to the fundamental freedoms of Americans established in our founding principles.

The importation of these ancient tribalisms has grossly distorted our freedoms and manner of governance.

Until they get taxed too.

Democrats can no longer actually do things in office like reduce congestion, etc. by building roads so instead they will simply take the taxes and fritter them away on their constellation of ngos and useless government sinecures for half wits.

Simply the Democrat party has become a dysfunctional racket to where the insiders are enriched and the rest of the population can f*ck right off. I think it is because these state and local governments no longer rely on actual votes from the precincts but easy to manufacture ballots and ballot fraud.

How does she know right wingers are wrong? She didn't give specifics, but this generally falls into one of two categories

1) Philosophy/morality - leftists will claim with a straight face that if conservatives don't support "trans rights" or "gay marriage" or any number of leftist goals they are not morally wrong but factually wrong.

2) The narrative cocoon - the other side of this is leftist disavow any information that does not come out of the approved leftist curated narrative sources. So COVID did not come out of a Chinese lab, the clot shot had no side effects, and Haitian immigrants did not eat wildlife in OH. Why? Well the approved documents say so!

It's a programming manual. A damned good one -- it's a model of clarity and conciseness that others should aspire to emulate, even after all this time -- but still a programming manual.

If you want to teach yourself *computer science*, you're gonna need Knuth, Sedgewick, or CLRS (or however many other authors they've added by now).

308 Facts in the case,
"a Jewish student of Israeli descent, alleges she was subjected to “pervasive anti-Jewish discrimination” during her time at the university.

The five-count complaint, filed by the Lawfare Project on Canaan’s behalf, claims systematic antisemitic behavior and abuse beginning in 2018 by CMU faculty and administration.

The alleged abuse began when Mary-Lou Arscott, studio professor at CMU’s School of Architecture and associate head for design fundamentals, purportedly denied Canaan a homework assignment extension so she could attend an Oct. 29, 2018, memorial service for victims of the Oct. 27 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.

In 2022, the complaint alleges, Arscott commented on a project Canaan created about the conversion of a public space into a private space through an eruv, and said a wall in the project looked like the wall Israelis used “to barricade Palestinians out of Israel.” Canaan also alleges that Arscott said she should instead focus on “what Jews do to make themselves such a hated group.”

Canaan claims she reported Arscott’s behavior to her studio professor who told her not to worry because Arscott wouldn’t be grading her. Cont.

319 According to the complaint, Arscott sent Canaan a link to a “violently antisemitic blog,” the The Funambulist, and copied CMU’s chief diversity officer and the vice provost of diversity, equity and inclusion on the email.

When Canaan complained, other professors turned on the student, telling her to stop “acting like a victim” and that they would not “be an advocate for the Jews,” the complaint alleges.

Lawfare Project attorney Ziporah Reich said Arscott is an “extremely influential” person at CMU. Riech noted that another professor, whom Canaan turned to for help, said she was reticent to speak up against Arscott because Arscott helped her get hired at CMU and she “needed to be careful about what she did.”

The lawsuit lists detailed reports Canaan allegedly made to various school administrators who either ignored her pleas, failed to take any action to protect her, punish her abusers, or in the case of the schools Title IX coordinator, “aggressively discouraged Canaan from filing a formal complaint which would have trigged an investigation of Arscott."

Too much to hope that they're being investigated for funding illegal activity of the sort just mentioned? Because funding in itself seems OK (1st Amendment and probably many other things).

Related, sheriffs now busting up the nonsense outside federal center in/near Mpls. Anyone here know if the fed center is in Hennepin County? Assume it is. That means the center of the infection is actually changing their performance, bigly.

The thing a few nights ago was in Maple Grove, separate govt./PD. Totally normal vigorous response. Of course if local PDs/sheriffs do their jobs, most of this harassment will be squashed or diluted quickly.

I don't recall him doing jack against LaRouchies, who were a Democrat problem. It was the John Birch society.

There was a funny moment in the 90s when LaRouchies infiltrated the Dem ticket in Illinois with people with normal sounding names as opposed to the ethnic slavic names of the real ticket. They won all the primaries in the state but Governor and the governor had to denounce the entire ticket.

When I was going to grad school at (famous CS university) way back in the previous century (though not as far back as 1976) one of the labs I considered joining required that you be a US citizen, as they had lots of DoD funding. This lab had a surprising amount of physical security as well (no armed guards, but maybe only a couple of levels down from that).

The prof who ran the lab described their current research something like "well, suppose someone goes missing in the woods, like their car breaks down or their plane crashes or whatever... it would be nice to have a program that could look at aerial photos and locate vehicles among the visual clutter, so that a rescue operation could be carried out."

Yup. The only reason DoD would spend cubic fucktons of money is to improve search and rescue operations. There's no other reason they could be interested in finding vehicles concealed in terrain. Nope.

Heh.

While Jobs didn't invent the tech directly, he was one smart motherfucker. There were literally dozens of Apple-equivalent computer companies at the time. Jobs made the difference there.

Gates, on the other hand, lucked into getting the contract to supply what became MS-DOS/PC-DOS to IBM (as I recall, his dad had contacts there). He didn't write MS-DOS. He bought it. The guy who actually wrote it had hacked it together in a couple of weeks so he could have a rudimentary OS for the new 8086/8088 processor. Gates offered him $50K for it (conveniently failing to mention that IBM wanted to buy a gazillion copies). My dude was all "$50,000 for two week's work? Fuck yeah!"

Then Gates turned around and stiffed IBM by making it a requirement that he be able to sell the OS to other companies. Result: IBM got its lunch eaten by PC clones.

Gates isn't stupid either. He's smart and ruthless.

Even better... in a recent dump of new Epstein File docs, Jeffery talks to Bill about how Bill asked him for the names of antibiotics to slip to Melinda without her knowing, so she wouldn't realized he'd cheated on her. And talked about how Epstein arranged for Bill to be introduced to the Russian hookers.

When it comes to eating burgers and schtupping women, Bill Gates apparently has zero self restraint.

Epstein was being pressured by Bill to resign from boards, I think one was the bill and Melinda gates foundation. In the emails he refuses.

I will say this, Epstein writes very properly. I thought his emails would sound crass, and instead he sounds like a Victorian gentleman. Like Charles Augustus Milverton plotting his next blackmail scheme, before Sherlock Holmes can foil him.
