Yiddish to fulfill A&S language requirement | Cornell Chronicle

April 26, 2021 This fall, Cornell s new Yiddish program is setting its sights higher, riding a generational trend in interest and changing attitudes towards the language. Yiddish textbooks Currently, Yiddish classes meet one evening a week. Starting with the Fall 2021 semester, Elementary Yiddish will be offered for four credit hours and held four days per week. As of Fall 2022, with the addition of a redesigned Intermediate Yiddish class, students will be able to fulfill the College of Arts & Sciences’ language requirement by taking Yiddish. “Many people think of Yiddish as the language of humor and shtick, but students quickly learn that it’s a complete language, able to express the subtlest, most profound things,” said David Forman, Yiddish language instructor in the Department of Near Eastern Studies.

Does Iran even need spies in academia?

© Getty Images The Justice Department recently indicted professor Kaveh Afrasiabi, charging that for decades his persona as a neutral, mild-mannered scholar was a cover and that, in reality, he was an agent of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Perhaps Iran got lucky and a man with a good cover offered his services, or perhaps he is one covert operative in a much larger operation to infiltrate American academia. But the sad truth is that Iran really doesn’t need agents to pose as neutral experts because American academics long have done Iran’s public messaging free of charge.
