Pipes founded the [[Middle East Forum [http:www.MEForum.org], an independent 501(c)3 organization, ] in 1994. Its stated mission is to “promote American interests” through publications, research, consulting, media outreach, and public education. The Forum publishes two journals, the ''[[Middle East Quarterly'' [http://www.mequarterly.org]] and the ''[[Middle East Intelligence Bulletin'' [http://www.MEIB.org]] and sponsors events in four cities.
The [[Middle East Forum ]] sparked a controversy in September 2002 by establishing a web site called [[Campus Watch]] that claims to identify "five problems: analytical failures, the mixing of politics with scholarship, intolerance of alternative views, apologetics, and the abuse of power over students" in the teaching of Middle Eastern studies at American universities. Students are encouraged to submit reports regarding teachers, books and curricula.
Campus Watch was accused of "[[McCarthyism#McCarthyism_as_a_generic_concept|McCarthyesque]] intimidation" against professors expressing criticism of Israel, not only by the listed academics but by more than 100 others who demanded to be listed as well. Campus Watch subsequently removed the "McCarthyite blacklist" from their website.
