THE OX LETTERS 8/12


Peace centre misnamed

I NEVER thought I would live to see the day when an institution such as Sydney University would employ the likes of Jake Lynch ("Uni peace centre rebuffs Israeli civics teacher", 6/12).
The fact that he heads up a department titled the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies would be hilarious if it wasn't so badly misnamed.
Perhaps someone should explain to the professor that there are two sides to every conflict, even in the Middle East. His support for a boycott of all Israeli universities indicates a worrying lack of academic even-handedness. What next, a degree in anti-Semitism?

IT is a great shame that far too many of our universities have become infested with left-wingers such as Jake Lynch.
Australians should be concerned by the unconscionable indoctrination of our young, who are largely unaware of the manipulations to which they are being subjected.

If people such as Lynch want to play politics, they should pursue a political career and stop polluting our places of higher learning.
