Boycott Israel Academics Jeopardize US Taxpayer Grants

[From article]
Six directors of taxpayer-supported Middle East Studies centers at American universities have signed a public letter pledging "not to collaborate on projects and events involving Israeli academic institutions." However, as Winfield Meyers of Campus Watch reports:
As heads of U.S. Department of Education Title VI National Resource Centers, the directors are administrators of bodies required by the Higher Education Opportunity Act to give "assurances" that they will "maintain linkages with overseas institutions of higher education and other organizations that may contribute to the teaching and research of the Center."
[. . .]
These academics should be under close scrutiny, and their centers’ funding cut off, if they violate the terms of their grants by acting on their personal animus agaist Israel.
