BELLESILES UPDATE: Melissa Seckora is reporting that the National Endowment for the Humanities is requiring the Newberry Library to remove the NEH’s name from Bellesiles’ research, which was conducted under a Newberry grant whose funding came originally from the NEH.

Apparently, the NEH has decided that Bellesiles’ work doesn’t measure up.

UPDATE UPDATE: There’s more, including some fascinating quotes from letters in support of Bellesiles. No agenda there! I wonder who wrote those.
