Telling the NYT, "you can have an exclusive as long as you print our side of the story only" - and having the NYT agree! speaks volumes about the nature of the comments they were expecting from the other interested parties. Isn't the NYT owned by people of the Jewish faith?

Whatever the NYTimes did or did not do is not particularly relevant to what happened at Columbia in terms of the alleged incidents and the report. As for Said's influence on the department, I think that's terrific. If counter influence is important to you, there's plenty of counter influence around the University. Makes sense to have some place in which the Palestinian story gets into the picture. So long as students are not graded on ideological grounds and faculty members encourage multiple points of view, and are open about their own, that's good education.
