Campus Watch: Monitoring Middle East Studies on Campus
Campus Watch, Middle East Forum, Philadelphia, PA, USA
Self-description: "Campus Watch is a project of the Middle East Forum [www.meforum.org - ed.] focusing on the [North American] academy's handling of Middle Eastern and Islamic issues. [...] Who We Are: Campus Watch consists of American academics concerned about US interests and their frequent denigration on campus. Those interests include strong ties with Israel, Turkey, and other democracies as they emerge; human rights throughout the region; a stable supply and a low price of oil; and the peaceful settlement of regional and international disputes. What We Do: Campus Watch will henceforth monitor and gather information on professors who fan the flames of disinformation, incitement and ignorance. Campus Watch will critique these specialists, and make available its findings on the internet and in the media."
