Talk:Debbie Almontaser

Columbia faculty

The category "Columbia University faculty" was added to the article, but I don't see anywhere in the article where it says that she is a member of the Columbia faculty. Do you have a source for this? And then we could include it in the article as well (probably in the lead, even). -- Irn (talk) 01:01, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

The article says "Ms. Almontaser co-designed a curriculum for the Muslim Communities Project at Columbia University and for Educators for Social Responsibility/Metro." I interpreted being a designer of curriculum to make some one faculty. If you have more information, or have a different view on what this means, you are welcome to act accordingly.Johnpacklambert (talk) 01:04, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

But designing the curriculum doesn’t mean she taught it. Nor does it necessarily mean that she was employed by the university. From the context of the paragraph, Almontaser does a lot of consulting work, and working on a curriculum definitely falls within that sphere, not under Columbia faculty. Do you have any proof that she was ever considered a faculty member at Columbia? Or that simply co-designing one curriculum makes one a faculty member? -- Irn (talk) 02:12, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I just realized that I misread your change (from faculty to people). I still don't think working on one curriculum makes her affiliated enough with the university to be considered in that category either. -- Irn (talk) 02:16, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Bennett??

In the second paragraph, there is a mention of someone named Bennett asking Almontaser for the Arabic root of Intifada. Who is this Bennett? This sounds cribbed from someone else's writing to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arguman (talk • contribs) 20:39, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Bennett was the author of the piece in the The Post. I fixed the ref so his name appears at the bottom and re-worded it to make it clear where the question was coming from. -- Irn (talk) 21:01, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Truth?

The following statement has no legitimate place in an encyclopedia: "CISKGIA organized well-attended press conferences and press releases in order to get the truth out." Orthotox (talk) 23:43, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Present status & occupation

The article is vague on the subject of Almonaster's current life. Has she abandoned all claim for reinstatement? What is her present livelihood? Orthotox (talk) 23:46, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

She's in the news right now as the co-founder of the Yemeni American Merchants Association: https://nypost.com/2022/07/10/nyc-bodega-group-pitches-stand-your-ground-law-after-fatal-stabbing/ 68.174.74.27 (talk) 16:33, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

office space

"an organization that used office space to run its youth program"

This is a non-sequitur. I think the payload was whose office space, but that was omitted. Lewis Goudy (talk) 16:37, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, good call. Here's when it was taken out. Not sure why, though. I've put it back in. -- Irn (talk) 17:50, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
