I'm not buying it. When you reach a certain level of scholarship, the names don't need to be attached. Experts can read an al qaeda release and tell if it was written by UBL or Zawahiri. So too can other experts tell if things were written by Pipes, Spencer or Esposito by position and writing style.
And don't be fooled by stating that "because it's a university, it doesn't have an agenda."
How much have the Saudis donated to Esposition's Center for Christian Muslim Propaganda?

There's a very warped agenda there...and IMO it should be illegal for foreign entities to fund our schools and universities...just as it is for them to fund political campaigns.
