Princeton Tilts Right

Max Blumenthal in The Nation with an expose which he apparently thinks is of Robert George and the Madison Program at Princeton University.
It's a good thing Princeton approves--or appears to approve--of what George is doing. Because as Philanthropy suggests, the Madison Program's refusal to accept a university endowment prevents the school from exercising leverage over it. "Without an endowment," the magazine writes, "there is nothing for the university to seize if it were to take over the Madison Program. At the slightest threat to the program's integrity, the foundations and philanthropists supporting it can pull their money." [from screen 7]
