News about protests, Columbia

Thank you to over 300 ADL advocates who lobbied their elected representatives today in support of increasing security for our communities, protecting Jewish students on college campuses, and so many critical actions to help fight antisemitism. #FightingHateForGood pic.twitter.com/NZA0xaMS3r

It's unacceptable that @bjrisman & many other Jewish professors feel they need to leave academia due to the hostile environment. In addition to protecting Jewish students, university leaders must counter the antisemitic hostility that faculty face as well. www.timesofisrael.com/retiring-early-due-to-antisemitism-a-professor-paints-a-dire-picture-of-us-academia/

College campuses are supposed to be a place where students from different backgrounds can safely learn from one another. To shun students simply for being Israeli or Jewish is shameful & antisemitic. University leadership must do more to stop this. www.bostonglobe.com/2024/05/15/metro/campus-protests-israeli-students-jewish/
