| 2024-03-10 |
Just a few examples of what happened this week — articles I happened across while looking for other things. Israeli professor at Columbia says university ‘has opened probe into my advocacy’[IsraelTimes] An Israeli professor at Columbia University in New York says the school “has opened an investigation into my advocacy for the Jewish and Israeli students, faculty and staff at the university.” “This is a clear act of retaliation and an attempt to silence me,” Shai Davidai tweets. It is unclear what the investigation is specifically about. A video of the Columbia Business School assistant professor denouncing university president Minouche Shafik’s “cowardice” for allowing the proliferation of “pro-terror student organizations” on campus and telling parents that students were not safe went viral in October. New lawsuit against MIT accuses university of allowing antisemitism on campus [IsraelTimes] Two Jewish students filed a federal lawsuit today against the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), accusing the university of allowing antisemitism on campus that has resulted in them being intimidated, harassed and assaulted. The lawsuit mirrors similar legal actions filed since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, including at Columbia University, New York University, Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania. In the MIT lawsuit, the students and a nonprofit that fights antisemitism, StandWithUs Center for Legal Justice accuse the university of approving antisemitic activities on campus and tolerating discrimination and harassment against Jewish students and faculty. UC Berkeley under federal investigation after protesters disrupt Israeli speaker [IsraelTimes] School officials say they will cooperate with investigation after denouncing protesters’ ‘overtly antisemitic expression’ Inaugural Columbia University task force report confirms Jewish students’ claims of antisemitism [IsraelTimes] Report recognizes that Jews on campus were subject to ‘racist epithets and antisemitic tropes’; focuses on enforcing guidelines around demonstrations Delegitimizing Jews at Ohio State University: By Hook or by Crook [JewishJournal] SJP campaign to delegitimize the Jewish State was itself conducted illegitimately, with numerous violations of the university’s bylaws leading to the referendum being disqualified. |
