This article was published in a right-wing journal that Ms. Menaker is a contributor for. There is no attempt to verify the veracity of the information or interview anyone at the university who may shed more light on the issues involved.

Exactly. I can't believe people would just read this BS and believe it without questioning the source.
I'm not saying its all untrue, but it seems highly suspicious. What are Mr.Kaplan's sources? I wouldn't be surprised if he just went up to Ms. Menaker and asked her to tell him what happened.
Also, these "tribunals" are commonplace at many universities. If you get in trouble, you go before a disciplinary committee and you sure don't get to have a lawyer. And the fact that the pro-Palestinian students were also disciplined takes away here claim that it was one-sided. To me, its pretty clear that Ms. Menaker is just a troubled troublemaker with a chip on her shoulder. She'll get no sympathy from me.
