| UVA alumni group accuses university of ignoring rampant campus antisemitism [CollegeFix] The University of Virginia “has willfully ignored its longstanding antisemitism problem” and must address it now, according to the Jefferson Council, an alumni network dedicated to preserving Thomas Jefferson’s legacy at the venerable university. The alumni group recently published a 13-page report authored by council President Joel Gardner that argues antisemitism has been “exponentially exacerbated” on campus over the last year, following the massacre of Israeli citizens by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2024. A chart in the report details how reported incidents of religious-based bias, discrimination and harassment at UVA over the last eight years is primary against Judaism, far outpacing Islam and Christianity. Two items from the College Fix article about 21 college hate crime hoaxes in 2024: ‘No probable cause’: Police close investigation into claim Jewish student threatened Muslim roommate with a knifeIsha Hussein said the University of Washington did nothing to help her after her Jewish roommate allegedly threatened her with a knife during an argument about the war in Israel. Actually, the Jewish roommate moved out of the residence hall and Hussein herself declined to have the police investigate further. The Jewish student disputes the allegations. No records of Hussein being assaulted by another roommate Isha Hussein made two other claims. One, she claimed another roommate assaulted her in retaliation for reporting the Jewish roommate. No police report exists for this alleged assault. A spokesman to the school, in connection to the various allegations, said that they were “difficult to verify or resolve for all parties.” Hussein also claimed the third and final roommatethreatened her. While this could have happened, the lack of evidence in the first two allegations points to this also not being true, as well as the lack of any other police reports besides the October 2023 one. George Mason U. must denounce ‘antisemitic, pro-terrorist sentiment’: law professors The demand from 16 law professors follows three major allegations against students at the public university in Fairfax, Va. Law enforcement found guns, ammo, and “death to Jews” signs at the home Jena and Nora Chanaa, two Students for Justice in Palestine leaders, as previously reported by The College Fix. The FBI is also investigating Abdullah Ezzeldin Taha Mohamed Hassan on allegations he plotted a “mass casualty attack” on the Israeli consulate in New York City, as The Fix recently reported. President Washington reportedly told the professors that the university has denounced antisemitism and that it is waiting for legal guidance from the attorney general and local prosecutor concerning banning face masks.
