| − | ==Forgotten Chapter: Tanter at the Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor==
| |
| − | Tanter spent many years teaching Political Science and history of the "Middle Eastern conflict" at the University of Michigan -- Ann Arbor '''(dates?)'''. Curiously, this chapter of Tanter's life does not appear in his IPC [http://www.iranpolicy.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=29 biography]. While at UM he was renowned for his pro-Israeli stance, and teaching history/politics of the Middle East with a strong zionist perspective.'''(ref?)''' He frequently appeared as a featured speaker at events hosted by the [[Jewish National Fund]] (JNF) -- this was a yearly event.'''(ref?)''' In 1989, Tanter also spearheaded attempts to expunge student journalists who were critical of Israel and US foreign policy from the student newspaper, the ''Michigan Daily''.'''(ref?)''' Tanter was present at meetings of zionist student-journalists, B'nai B'rith officials, and non-student zionist activists, where a campaign was hatched to oust leftist and Palestinian student-journalists.'''(ref? - or same as above?)''' His departure from the university seems to have been due to a disagreement with the head of the Political Science department and his departure seems to have been under less-than cordial conditions (ref? - we can't include suppostion or conjecture. I know you are investigating this, but it needs sourced or will have to go)-- and most probably explains why the IPC biography avoids this chapter in Tanter's life.
