UC Berkeley's Middle East Propaganda Center

A Zionist student group at UC Berkeley has lodged a complaint against the school's Center for Middle East Studies (CMES) accusing it of being nothing more than a center for indoctrination.

An important point is raised here: Why should any university department receive Title VI funds if it is engaged in one-sided propaganda? (I have no idea if or how much money CMES has received from Saudi Arabia, which has financed many Middle East Studies departments across the nation.)
