Northwestern University's New President Was Force Behind Controversial Relationship With Qatar

Northwestern University on Tuesday announced that former president Henry S. Bienen, who led the university from 1995 to 2009, will replace outgoing president Michael Schill. Northwestern's satellite campus in Qatar marred Schill's tenure, particularly in the wake of the Oct. 7 terror attacks that drew attention to the foreign and domestic sources fueling campus anti-Semitism. So it is perhaps ironic that Northwestern has tapped the man who launched the university's Qatar campus to replace him. Bienen established the university's Qatar campus during his first stint as president, signing a contract with the Hamas-allied Gulf state that prohibits students and faculty in Doha from criticizing the Qatari regime.

In a Previous Life, He Ran an Organization That Funneled Money to Hamas. Now He's a Journalism Professor at Northwestern.

Northwestern University describes journalism professor Ibrahim Abusharif as a "former book publisher" who "has been involved in projects to translate—from Arabic into English—the Quran." It does not give examples of those projects, perhaps because they include the Quranic Literacy Institute (QLI), an organization Abusharif cofounded that raised and laundered money for Hamas and was forced to pay damages to the family of a teenaged terror victim. Abusharif is a Chicago native who received his master's degree from Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism and worked as a senior lecturer at the university's Evanston campus in 2008. From there, he moved to Qatar, where he's served as an assistant and then associate professor of journalism at Northwestern's Doha campus for more than 17 years.
