“it is difficult for the Jewish community to take UofT’s apology for the school’s history of antisemitism seriously at the same time that the university is timorous in combating antisemitism among the TFOM faculty – as exemplified by a letter, signed by 45 faculty members, the minority of whom are Jewish, sent to the UofT’s […]

Dominic Green WSJ, Jan. 24, 2023 “… these schools function as think tanks, facilitating valuable exchanges between academic theorists and real-world practitioners.” Should Kenneth Roth, recently retired executive director of Human Rights Watch, receive a fellowship at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government? In late July, the Kennedy School’s dean, Doug Elmendorf, rejected Mr. Roth’s […]
Alexander Joffe Algemeiner, Feb. 1, 2023 “By characterizing antisemitic harassment as “academic freedom” and framing complaints as mere unhappiness regarding “discourse on difficult topics,” the university dismissed concerns in a manner unique to Jewish issues.” As 2023 begins, several trends related to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement have become clear. On […]
Andrew Lapin Israel National News, Jan 31, 2023 “The program looks wholly insensitive. Instead of being a commemoration of the Holocaust, it looks like it’s turning into an opportunity for celebration.” An event that took place at a Virginia university Thursday night to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day was scheduled to feature lectures […]
Barbara Kay Epoch Times, Jan. 23, 2023 “The troubling reality is that there isn’t to my knowledge a single organization dedicated to Palestinian rights that accepts Israel’s legitimacy as a nation, or that accepts an attachment to their ancient homeland as a legitimate component of Jewish identity.” On January 27, 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, […]

Dr. Rafael Medoff If American Jews “decide to remain apart,” antisemitism will rise to the point that “blood will be spilled,” one of America’s most prominent educators reportedly warned, one hundred years ago this week.

“There is no “Jewish-Free Zone” at Berkeley Law or on the UC-Berkeley campus. The Law School’s rules are clear that no speaker can be excluded for being Jewish or for holding particular views. I know of no instance where this has been violated.” Erwin Chemerinsky (Yahoo! Finance, Oct. 1, 2022) When Does anti-Zionism Become Antisemitism? – Barbra Streisand, […]

Jeff Robbins Creators, Sept. 27, 2022 “Instead of acknowledging “Burlington, we’ve got a problem,” UVM’s president responded with a statement at once inane and threatening, warning darkly that the investigation would hurt Jewish students.” The facts at the core of the current antisemitism scandal at the University of Vermont don’t seem especially disputable, and […]
Kenneth L. Marcus The Hill, Sept. 1, 2022 “Lhamon’s message is important, and not only to reassure the Jewish community that she gets the problem. It is especially important for its true audience, which is the higher education community.” Days ago, the U.S. Education Department’s civil rights office, OCR, resolved a major anti-Semitism case at Kyrene School […]
Nate Hoffman National Review, Sept. 29, 2022 “It turns out that, when elite law schools like Yale teach their students that there are no consequences to their intolerance and illiberalism, the message sticks with them.” Judge James C. Ho of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit announced Thursday that he […]
Kenneth L. Marcus Jewish Journal, Sept. 28, 2022 “… the exclusionary bylaws operate like racially restrictive covenants, precluding minority participation into perpetuity.” If it wasn’t so frightening, one might be able to recognize the irony in the sight of campus progressives trying so hard to signal progressive virtue that they fall victim […]
