We have recently reported on the uproar going on at Northwestern University over Joseph Epstein, a former adjunct teacher who has written an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal suggesting that Jill Biden should stop referring to herself as "Dr Jill Biden" since she is not really a physician (She has a doctorate in Education), and the title is somewhat misleading. In response, the Jacobins at Northwestern have called his remarks "misogynistic" and scrubbed all references to his name from their website. Mr. Epstein is now a non-person at Northwestern-except on the recent pages of the campus newspaper, The Daily Northwestern.
But I wonder if the little rascals at NW are aware that they currently have a Holocaust denier on the current faculty-whose name has not been scrubbed from NW's website. That would be engineering professor, Arthur Butz, author of a book entitled, "The Hoax of the Twentieth Century: The Case Against the Presumed Extermination of European Jewry". Chrissy Clark has the report in the Washington Free Beacon.
I note in the link to Butz's university webpage (above) that the book in question does not appear in his "selected publications". A mere oversight, I am sure.
In fairness to The Daily Northwestern, the Butz affair was covered back in 2006 when it was current, but it seems they might want to check their archives.
