The University of California at Berkeley is first an institution of higher education and second a hotbed of liberal activism famous for protesting everything, including the U.S. military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy that discriminates against gays and lesbians.
So why is the university pursuing a $28-million deal to collaborate on faculty recruiting and research with the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, where you get the death penalty for practicing sodomy?
The university says that homosexual students who study at KAUST will be protected:
Berkeley’s Academic Senate report, however, states that “Saudi laws related to sexual orientation and practice will not be applied at KAUST.”
However:
[O]nce they leave the KAUST compound and residential area, they will be governed by current Saudi laws.
I’m thinking if you can’t leave your dorm, their study-abroad program will not be as popular as the ones in, like, Italy.
“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” = EVIL
“Don’t Be Gay, Don’t Get Your Head Chopped Off” = Ehhhhh…

I hope the women who take part don’t feel the need to have some coffee with their co-researchers. My favorite sentence in the article is the last.
That story seems perfectly normal. Are there some problems in the Middle East or something?
On the bright side maybe some folks at Berkely will learn to appreciate the US more when they’re confronted with real live savage desert fundamentalists.
Problems in the Middle East Pasta? Why no, how could there be? It’s sand and sun as far the eye can see, it’s like one big beach! Like Malibu but without all the icky Californians.
