David Force, Card's lawyer, said
Card had made every effort to avoid
taking the matter to court.
"Mr. Pipes has no interest in resolv
ing the issue," Force said.
According to the suit, "defendants'
publication of the false and defama
tory statements of and concerning the
plaintiff... caused injury to plaintiffs
reputation and good name, and
caused him to suffer extreme emo
tional distress."
"It still hurts every time when I go
online and see those words," Card
said, adding that the months follow
ing the article's publication were pos
sibly the worst in his life.
Pipes said via e-mail that he had
no comments about the case. Schanz
er did not return three phone calls.
Card said he has received wide
spread support from other students
and faculty, the campus and Jewish
communities. He said many people
approached him when the controver
sy began to say they did not believe
he had made the statements. Howev
er, he said he still worries about the
impressions the article may have left
on new students and parents who do
not know him and therefore may
question his teaching methods. He
also said he received many negative e
mails from people outside Eugene
who felt he should be fired.
"For a teacher, a reputation is
everything," Card said, adding that
standing up for his reputation is what
inspired him to file the suit.
Card, who teaches the University's
"Social Inequality" class, said he has
always been an ardent advocate for
equality and tolerance among all eth
nic and economic groups.
“1 have hated anti-Semitism all my
life," he said. "I couldn't have been hit
with a more hurtful charge."
Pipes and Schanzer have stood by
their statements, saying Card had
not fulfilled their requests to war
rant a retraction despite many peo
ple, including prominent Eugene
Jewish leaders, speaking in Card's
favor. In a letter published in No
vember 2002 in the Jewish Review,
a Portland newsletter, Pipes and
Schanzer said they asked Card to
provide them with names of his stu
dents to interview and a copy of his
final exam, which students had al
legedly complained about, but Card
refused. He also refused to publish
an essay condemning "bias and po
litical activism in the classroom,"
which they would have exchanged
for a retraction, the columnists said.
However, the suit states the colum
nists asked Card to violate laws since
releasing student names is against of
ficial school policy. It also claims that
although Schanzer and Pipes knew
the statements were false, they did
not make any corrections to the arti
cle until Nov. 1, 2002. The new ver
sion of the article on www.campus
watch.org has the word "reportedly"
added to it.
