“Lyle Goldstein, Brown University’s Asia programme director”
MISLEADING
The claim identifies Lyle Goldstein as 'Brown University’s Asia programme director'.

He is not the director of a Brown University Asia programme, but rather a director at a separate organization (Defense Priorities) while holding a fellowship/initiative role at Brown.
