Via NY Post: Cornell dean says ISIS welcome on campus in undercover video
This guy is either the dumbest Ivy League bigwig ever or politically correct to a fault — for welcoming offers to bring ISIS and Hamas to Cornell University.
A video sting operation shows Cornell’s assistant dean for students, Joseph Scaffido, agreeing to everything suggested by an undercover muckraker posing as a Moroccan student.
Scaffido casually endorses inviting an ISIS “freedom fighter’’ to conduct a “training camp” for students at the upstate Ithaca campus — bizarrely likening the activity to a sports camp.
Is it OK to bring a humanitarian pro-“Islamic State Iraq and Syria” group on campus, the undercover for conservative activist James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas asks.
Sure, Scaffido says in the recorded March 16 meeting….
Of course, he could deny encouraging this evil, assuring us his remarks were
“taken out of context…”
What good is an ivory tower if you can’t make flippant remarks with impunity?
A nice guy clueless Dean promoting his University. Useful idiots by definition don’t have good vision. That does represent Cornell’s motto. Motto is ‘old-fashioned’ in that it’s based on University providing eduction not politicization.
…”The motto first appeared in a letter Ezra Cornell, the university’s founder, wrote to Andrew Dickson White, the university’s first president, on Feb. 23, 1868…’I would found an Institution where any person could find instruction in any study.’ — Ezra Cornell.” He used the motto in his first inaugural address on Oct. 7, 1868….” http://news.cornell.edu/stories/2007/08/cornells-any-person-any-study-named-best-college-motto
Ezra Cornell was born in the Bronx, founded Western Union, devised glass insulators for the telegraph poles to prevent wire shorts, appointed his sister Phoebe to be the first woman telegraph operator, was expelled from Quaker Church for marrying a Methodist. (wikip.)
This SOB should be immediately fired and arrested by DHS.
