Last week it was reported that Douglas Elmendorf, Dean of Harvard’s Kennedy School, decided not to award a prestigious fellowship to Kenneth Roth, the former director of the NGO Human Rights Watch.
A spokesman for the school explained that the decision was based on “an evaluation of the candidate’s potential contributions” to the school, but Roth quickly ran to sympathetic news outlets to spin his rejection (with no real proof) as a violation of his “academic freedom” under the assumption that it was all because of his well-documented anti-Israel bias.
