To the Editor:As an alumnus of Brandeis University, I am deeply disturbed to hear that the administration abandoned its academic and moral responsibility and allowed President Jimmy Carter to speak on campus. President Carter's book, replete with inaccuracies and anti-Israeli bias, does not deserve a promotional forum at a university that was established to provide an academic safe haven for American Jews who were blacklisted at Ivy League universities.

President Carter's refusal to debate, coupled with the use of prescreened questions, cloaks propaganda in the guise of academic discourse. His visit dishonors the values of this great institution and its namesake. The administration had a chance to uphold the moral character of the University and demand debate on a crucial issue that deserves discourse, but instead folded to pressure and compromised away our integrity.
