National | Taxpayers are subsidizing anti-Americanism on university campuses | Jennifer Marshall

Taxpayers are subsidizing anti-Americanism on university campuses, according to a key witness at a congressional hearing last month. The June 19 hearing investigated charges of bias in programs under Title VI of the Higher Education Act, which finances more than 100 centers for foreign-language and area studies—such as Middle Eastern and African studies—at American universities.

"Title VI-funded programs ... tend to purvey extreme and one-sided criticisms of American foreign policy," testified Stanley Kurtz, a Hoover Institution fellow. According to Mr. Kurtz, area-studies programs are dominated by "post-colonialism," a theory promoted by Edward Said, which holds that promoting democracy is culturally insensitive and that international expertise should not serve American foreign-policy goals.
