...Crimson mentioning any such protests exist. No Hillel "protest" of Foundation support for Noam Chomsky ever took place. As I member of the Foundation's Student Advisory Committee, I once asked a Foundation staff member about whether and why the Foundation had supported a political speaker, especially since the SAC, which distributes grant money, had never discussed or approved it.

I argued that their appearance should not have been funded because in his speech Mohammad viciously attacked whites, Jews and women. Hillel argued that for the Foundation to sponsor an overt bigot (who bizarrely asserted that Jews are responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer) would be to blaspheme its mandate of "enhancing the quality of our common living...
Members of the SAC argued that while the funding of Mohammad was unfortunate, the Foundation was legally bound to pay the funds. In response, I dropped the request. Again, this story never appeared in The Crimson, and I never even sought to publicize it. In fact, there is no case on record in the two years I have been a student here which would indicate that Hillel has ever publicly criticized the Foundation.
