Why the other papers in town are not covering it is a mystery. But it certainly strikes us as newsworthy when the United States Commission on Civil Rights votes – as our Meghan Clyne reports it did yesterday – to ask Congress to amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to protect Jews against anti-Semitism on campus. We are not particularly in favor of the Congress jumping in on the issue, but given the way things have been going on campus, it’s not exactly surprising. There is litigation under way on the Coast over campus anti-Semitic incidents that have been ignored at the political level. Harvard is trying to figure out what to do about a dean at its John F. Kennedy School who has co-authored a paper that a professor at Harvard Law School calls bigoted. And Columbia is moving toward granting tenure to one of the professors in the middle of its own Middle East studies scandal. So if the Congress Acts maybe they’ll call it Bollinger’s Law.
