Nerd News: Shuttering the Yale Interdisciplinary Initiative for the Study of Anti-Semitism

The campus Powers That Be have decided to pull the plug on its five-year-old Yale Interdisciplinary Initiative for the Study of Antisemitism. Needless to say, this has caused a flap.  Powerline has 3 recent posts on this: here, here, and most recently here.  At the very least, the whole thing simply looks bad on Yale: "Let's take a serious look at anti-Semitism ... Oops, we don't think we're going to anymore."  Well, it can't be because they think anti-Semitism is no longer a problem.
