Academia nuts

Last year it was the AUT Union that was embarrassed internationally, now the other major british academic union is proposing a boycott of Israeli Universities..

British academics tell Ynetnews:
‘New academic boycott in the works amounts to anti-Semitism in effect if not intent’; Lecturers’ union ‘may pass’ resolution against ‘continuing Israeli apartheid policies,’ urging members to ‘consider their own responsibility in contacts with Israeli educational institutions or individuals’; motion blasted as ‘McCarthyist’

I saw this story last night at Sister Toldjah, there’s some links in there to instapundit etc and comments.
