Yale to end its program (YIISA) on the study of anti-Semitism!

In the article "Money and fear makes the academic world go 'round ... !" the reasoning for the ending of the Yale University program called the Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of anti-Semitism (YIISA) was discussed.

Yale claims the study was not meeting the "academic expectations" that had been set for it, but is the more likely explanation that one source of Yale's funding, the Arab world, didn't like the tone of the discourse?

Would an institution of higher learning as respected as Yale really succumb to financial pressures over academic pursuits and study?

I think I would have to say that Yale most likely would, particularly if it is a program along the lines of YIISA that many in the upper echelons of academia might consider to be expendable!
