A TALIBAN MOUTHPIECE GOES TO YALE By Michelle Malkin February 27, 2006 John Fund writes: <<< Never has an article made me blink with astonishment as much as when I read in yesterday's New York Times magazine that Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, former ambassador-at-large for the Taliban, is now studying at Yale on a U.S. student visa. This is taking the obsession that U.S. universities have with promoting diversity a bit too far. Something is very wrong at our elite universities. Last week Larry Summers resigned as president of Harvard when it became clear he would lose a no-confidence vote held by politically correct faculty members furious at his efforts to allow ROTC on campus, his opposition to a drive to have Harvard divest itself of corporate investments in Israel, and his efforts to make professors work harder. Now Yale is giving a first-class education to an erstwhile high official in one of the most evil regimes of the latter half of the 20th century--the government that harbored the terrorists who attacked America on Sept. 11, 2001. >>> Bash Yale, by all means. But Yale didn't approve Hashemi's student visa. That would be the Bush administration's State Department. Wouldn't it be interesting to see Hashemi's application? * And speaking of ill-considered, "diversity"-driven admissions policies, did you know that the Diversity Visa Lottery program is still around? * I cover laxity in the student visa vetting process extensively in Invasion.
