I fail to see the reason for 94 people voting to table the discussion until more needed information be provided to be out of fear instead of, perhaps, enlightenment? The case against Iran was one where a government was denying some of its own people access to education because of their religion which was not the case for the denial of visa's at the time they were denied to Gazan's by Israel (which is no longer the case). Equating the two situation is not based on an all-things-considered approach. Perhaps it is more appropriate to advocate that the AAUP refrains from refereeing between waring factions. And, perhaps, this is why the resolution did not pass, let alone pass resoundingly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452233.post-75801781508491011412008-06-26T12:38:00.000-05:002008-06-26T12:38:00.000-05:00The AAUP would be a much better advocate for educa...The AAUP would be a much better advocate for education and academic freedom if they would focus on their mission.
