""We have many prominent education institutions here, and don't need to give in to any conditions," said Dr Ebtisam Al Kitby, professor of political science at UAE University. Political science professor Dr Abdul Khaleq Abdullah condemned the move, saying there was no place for politics in academic decisions. "It's obvious that the ignorance (about Arabs) that prevails among the American public has crept into academics," he said." (Abdul-Khaliq is a friend and classmate in graduate school). (thanks Manar)
