In fairness to my alma matter, as was the case at Brown, Albanese was not invited by Columbia University. Instead she was invited by the Center for Palestine Studies in October, 2022. And the panel was as one sided as that at Brown. Prof. Katharine Franke whose anti-Israel views are so unhinged that Israel took the unprecedented step of barring her entry to the country - an incident about which she was less than truthful in the press accounts - served as moderator.
On the other hand, Albanese fell for an offer from everyone’s favorite Chief Rabbi of Gaza.
Given Albanese’s problems with honoraria, I wonder whether her “visa trouble” was a pretext for not having to travel because she would no longer be profiting from the trip.
