...made, however, we await notification of which four scholars shall be hired under this gift. Another concern is how Saudi gifts to other academic departments across the country—understandably increasing during the post-9/11 charm offensive in recent years—may have changed the tenor of those departments away from scholarship concerns and towards pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli activism. This has been especially true at Columbia, where the Department of Middle East and Asian Languages and Cultures department is notably prejudiced, and where the establishment of the Edward Said Chair of Arab Studies was steeped...
...wall of noise that accentuated the frustration of Burns’ lyrics. This somber spirit of protest was countered by an extended version of “Güero Canelo,” featuring high, rolling trumpet solos, Richie Valens-esque guitar, and a dance-happy Spanish tenor named Salvador Duran, ending the set on a lighthearted high.

...endorsements, and many allegations that accompanied this year’s UC presidential campaign underscore the spectacle of the elections and the jaded attitude with which students view the UC. With their victory out of the mire, it is Haddock-Riley’s prerogative to overcome the negative tenor of the campus and reengage the student body with the UC. Otherwise, the tone of the election will continue to resonate for a long time...
