No, they haven't.
On the other hand, the person responsible for founding this organization
included a description of what would happen to the faculty of USC and
UCLA when his group took over. (Excerpts from the book were printed
in the NYTimes over the summer.) I would guess that he doesn't regard
his fellow academics, including physicists, with warm and fuzzy feelings.
Not that it makes any difference to me. I'm already in line for the
gas chambers as far as he's concerned.
