CUNY is a hard institution to love.

It seems to be ditching academic integrity lately. Grrr. I don't think it understands the internet.

Ugh is right. And also? The chap leading the campaign against Kushner's doctorate has apparently got a track record in shouting down other people who have supposedly 'disparaged' the state of Israel.

Yeah, it's super disturbing. Bleh!
