Excerpt:
Did Yale's program on anti-Semitism die a natural death from lack of academic vigor, as the university says? Should it have been saved, as two major Jewish groups are arguing?
Or was it killed for being politically incorrect about Muslim anti-Semitism, as alleged by others?
The decision to terminate the Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Anti-Semitism came after its routine five-year review, according to a statement from Donald Green, who heads Yale's Institution for Social and Policy Studies, the body that oversees the anti-Semitism initiative and other interdisciplinary programs.
The anti-Semitism initiative, Green said in a statement sent to JTA, failed to meet the institution's criteria of delivering an "outstanding" performance in the promotion of "interdisciplinary research and instruction at Yale."
