Beresford has started many programs at the Ford Foundation , saying she focuses on issues such as "racism, sexism, the environment, peace and justice, among others." CRITICISM Some journalists, particularly those of the Conservative leaning, criticize Beresford and what her organization does, claiming that it uses it's power to attack 'traditional' ways of life in America. Some of the specific actions criticized (these actions having been done under Beresford) include pushing for feminism and multiculturalism on college campuses- those schools that don't meet the Ford Foundation's standards when it comes to diversity are not given grants, these critics would claim. Under Beresford, the foundation also backed anti-war groups, and continued serving as banker for groups that are believed by many to be anti-Semitic, such as The Palestinian Society For The Protection Of Human Rights And The Environment . In 2003, based on concerns that the Ford Foundation may have been supporting these and other subversive groups, seventeen congressmen publicly demanded that the organization cease funding them; Beresford cooperated and cut off funding to some of the most notorious of those groups. Susan Beresford was named as number 41 on Bernard Goldberg's list of '' 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America ''. |
