At first I thought that you were veering into dangerous chair by armchair lawyering, but then I read the article. It is borderline libel (meaning that a jury could find the statements libelous). [Note: For legal purposes, libel is written/published while slander is spoken and they have different material elements but they otherwise refer to the same concept.]
Also, curiously, other than accusing Safer of outright lying, the article does not actual refute anything that Safer claims. Safer notes that Thiels fellows are provided social instruction (specifically, "networking skills"), but that clip is merely an aside to a longer video piece on the nature of the fellowships themselves and place in the national discussion on education.
