The Trump administration is calling on the University of North Carolina (UNC) and Duke University to revise their joint Middle Eastern studies program or lose taxpayer funding. According to the Department of Education, the program offers very few, “if any,” programs focused on the historic discrimination against religious minorities in the Middle East, and lacks balance, focusing on the “positive aspects of Islam” while having an “absolute absence” of a similar focus on the positive aspects of Christianity and Judaism.
It might be worth noting that both Duke and UNC have been given the all-too-rare "green" rating by the FIRE. So while there may be discussion of Islam on their campuses, it probably won't be a one-way conversation.
