Note that this attack didn't come from the Administration (i.e. Botstein, etc.) but from an outside guest speaker *against* the Administration including Roger Berkowitz who runs the Hannah Arendt Center: https://forward.com/opinion/letters/433122/letter-to-the-editor-i-organized-the-bard-conference-and-batya-ungar/ Indeed it appears the College is actually, quite pissed. Even though BUS long ago discredited herself as anything other than a racist and a brain-dead propagandist, Berkowitz took a risk and invited her along with another person who has been repeatedly condemned for her cheap invective. They did everything they could to give these individuals a platform even though they hardly deserved one, let alone one named after Hannah Arendt. And instead of BUS using the platform the school gave her to smear the students, she defiantly walked out of the conference and then used the Forward to smear the school. Lay down with dogs, wake up with fleas. Amith R.
