SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 1 –
Historian Ehsan Yarshater
compiled an Encyclopedia
Iranica while working at
Columbia University. He
founded the Persian Heritage
Foundation to continue the
work.
Now Columbia has
said to claim title to his
work.
On July 1, U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Kevin N. Fox.
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Judge Fox
has ordered an inventory of
the disputed materials.
Columbia is dispute even that,
but lost a June 11 order by
Judge Fox, who overruled
Columbia's objections. The
fight continues.
The case is The
Trustees Of Columbia
University in the City of New
York v. Encyclopaedia Iranica
Foundation, 19-cv-7465 (Torres
/ Fox).
