Blacklisted for BDS?

N. Bruce Duthu, a Native American studies scholar, was an appealing candidate for dean of the faculty for arts and sciences at Dartmouth College, at least on paper. Among other qualifications, he’s well liked, has administrative experience, advocates for the liberal arts and, as a member of the United Houma Nation, would have at the dean’s level helped alleviate Dartmouth's alleged diversity problem. He would have been among the highest-ranking Native Americans in the leadership of elite higher education. Yet Duthu, who was appointed dean in March and was to assume that role in July, just gave up the position and his current administrative duties over concerns about his past support for an academic boycott of Israel.
