There are those who claim that the tenure process should be decided as a result of a academic or peer review, not a petition or the voices and opinions of those who spent years of their lives at the university.

The Barnard administration referred to "outsiders" attempting to influence the tenure decision. The response from many alumnae/i to this comment was that it was interesting how Barnard graduates were important to the college's future and part of its honored past...when it came to seeking donations and inviting us to reunions. We are not willing to remain silent partners while Barnard's current administration lowers the standards of academic integrity for which Barnard and Columbia have always been famous.

Here we offer a list of just some of the many articles (academic, peer, opinions) - all written by people who have read Abu El Haj's book in its entirety (more than the President of Barnard was able to claim several months ago):
