Jews in Defense of UC
Over 600 Jewish faculty, staff, students, and community members in the University of California have signed the letter Jews in Defense of UC stating: “The Administration’s demand that UCLA pay the federal government $1 billion, along with a $172 million claims fund, is misguided and punitive. Cutting off hundreds of millions of research funds will do nothing to make UCLA safer for Jews nor diminish antisemitism in the world.” The letter was covered in the Los Angeles Times. On the same day, the opinion piece “Trump’s claim of fighting antisemitism at UCLA is a dangerous charade” by David N. Myers (UCLA faculty), Aaron Greenberg and Kate Pynoos, also appeared.
