Attacks on academic freedom are very prevelant on college campuses nationwide. Attacks are directed at academic freedom generally but the most specific and virulent is reserved for those educators--both Jewish and non-Jewish--in area studies, and notably, Middle Eastern studies whose ideas are considered anti-Israel, anti-Semitic or anti-American. This article provides examples of attacks in colleges around the country and discusses the establishment of Campus Watch. Campus Watch is a Web site with the primary purpose of identifying and monitoring Middle Eastern studies faculty in departments across the United States for signs of anti-American and anti-Israel bias.
