Joseph Scaffido, deputy vice rector for educational work at Cornell University in the United States, agreed that the fighters of the Islamic State (IG) organize a training camp on campus. He said this in an interview with journalist Project Veritas, pretending to be a supporter of the group.

A correspondent introduced himself as a student, Ali, from Morocco, wishing to organize a club. At first, he proposed setting up a gathering of humanitarian aid for IS soldiers (he calls them “freedom fighters”) and their families. Having received the approval of Scaffido, the journalist inquired whether Hamas could also be supported (which, like the IS, is recognized as a terrorist organization in the US approx. "Tapes.ru"), in response to that again received consent.

In addition, Scaffido said that "freedom fighters" can give a public lecture in the university hall, which seats several hundred people. According to him, it is possible to allocate a grant in the amount of four to five thousand dollars to organize the performance.

In addition, Scaffido affirmatively answered a journalist’s question whether a “freedom fighter” could be brought to the university and organize a training camp. “You will be allowed to do something like that. This is how to bring a coach for sports, ”explained the deputy vice-rector.
