Pipes' think tank the [[Middle East Forum]] established a website in 2002 called [[Campus Watch]], which identified what it saw as five problems in the teaching of Middle Eastern studies at American universities: "analytical failures, the mixing of politics with scholarship, intolerance of alternative views, [[apologetics]], and the abuse of power over students." According to ''[[The New York Times]]'', Campus Watch is the project for which Pipes is "perhaps best known."<ref name=Elliott>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/28/nyregion/28school.html?_r=1&ref=nyregion&oref=slogin | title=Critics Cost Muslim Educator Her Dream School |first=Andrea |last=Elliot |date=April 27, 2008 |access-date=May 3, 2008 |work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref>

Through Campus Watch, Pipes encouraged students and faculty to submit information on "Middle East-related scholarship, lectures, classes, demonstrations, and other activities relevant to Campus Watch".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.campus-watch.org/incident.php |title=Keep Us Informed |publisher=Campus Watch}}</ref> The project was accused of "[[McCarthyism|McCarthyesque]] intimidation" of professors who criticized [[Israel]] when it published "dossiers" on eight professors it thought "hostile" to America. In protest, more than a hundred academics demanded to be added to what some called a "blacklist". In October 2002 Campus Watch removed the dossiers from its website.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2002/09/28/MN227890.DTL | title = Professors want own names put on Mideast blacklist – They hope to make it powerless | work=[[San Francisco Chronicle]] | first = Tanya | last = Schevitz | date = September 28, 2002 | access-date = March 12, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.campus-watch.org/article/id/416 | title = Column a slur on Muslim community | first = Hussam | last = Ayloush | work=[[Orange County Register]] | date = December 1, 2002 | access-date = March 1, 2008 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.campus-watch.org/article/id/209 | title = 'Dossiers' dropped from Web blacklist | work=[[San Francisco Chronicle]] | first = Tanya | last = Schevitz | date = October 3, 2002 | access-date = March 12, 2008}}</ref><ref name=McNeil>{{cite news |first=Kristine |last=McNeil |url=https://www.thenation.com/article/war-academic-freedom/ |title=The War on Academic Freedom |work=[[The Nation]] |date=November 11, 2002 |access-date=October 21, 2007 |archive-date=May 26, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100526090931/http://www.thenation.com/article/war-academic-freedom |url-status=dead }}</ref>
