Activism

Jerry Slater on Rivka Carmi

Dear Dr. Carmi:
   As a retired university professor here in the U.S., I was quite interested in your letter to the BGU faculty.  I understand that the University of Tehran may be looking for a new president, so should the situation at BGU become as desperate as you fear, you might want to keep that option in mind. I believe you will find the Iranian government’s philosophy of education and the role of universities to be far more congenial that the mushy and cowardly leftism of Western civilization.

   In addition, they know just how to deal with the "treason" of people like Neve Gordon.  All in all, I believe it would be a good move for you.

   Sincerely yours,

   Jerome Slater
   Professor (emeritus)
