Ford to Review Funding for Habitat International Coalition
(JTA/Cleveland Jewish News/ADL) The president of the Ford Foundation, Susan Berresford, told the ADL national executive committee last Friday in Palm Beach, Fla., that the foundation is reviewing the status of another grantee - the Habitat International Coalition (HIC). In a letter to ADL, Berresford said, "Our review of the HIC web site revealed material that we find offensive and deeply troubling....We will now have an immediate, full and serious discussion with relevant members of HIC's leadership about these matters....As we have made clear, we will not support groups that promote or engage in violence, terrorism, bigotry, or the destruction of any state."
