No teacher for Taliban Man Powerline In the category of "today's good news," we can report that Yale's Senior Appointments Committee voted down the appointment of Juan Cole to the faculty yesterday, and it wasn't even close. Cole will not be appointed to the Yale faculty. We are reminded, however, that a) there is still the case of the Taliban Man to decide; and b) while Cole won't be joining the Yale faculty, the fact remains that Yale still does not have a senior faculty member in the history of the modern (post-Caliphate) Middle East. That is pretty embarrassing, or at least it should be. The appointment of Juan Cole to Yale from the University of Michigan would have been a disgrace; credit is due to Yale for having saved itself from the disgrace. And congratulations are due to AEI resident scholar/MEQ editor Michael Rubin, and to Eliana Johnson and Mitch Webber, Yale alumni all, who raised the red flag this past April regarding Cole's pending appointment.
