A Harvard School Distances Itself from Dean's Paper

By MEGHAN CLYNE - Staff Reporter of the Sun

WASHINGTON - Harvard's Kennedy School of Government is removing its logo
from a paper about the "Israel lobby" that was co-authored by its academic
dean.
The new version of the paper also has a more prominent disclaimer warning
that the paper's views belong only to its authors.

The changes appear to be a sign that the university is distancing itself
from the document in the face of a furor from faculty members, Jewish
leaders, and a congressman who say it fails to meet academic standards and
promotes anti-Semitic myths.

The paper, "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy," was written by the
Kennedy School's Stephen Walt and a political science professor and the
codirector of the Program on International Security Policy at the University
of Chicago, John Mearsheimer, and published by the Kennedy School.

In the 83-page "working paper," the professors allege that a vast network of
journalists, think tanks, lobbyists, and largely Jewish officials have
seized the foreign policy debate and manipulated America to invade Iraq.
