We are deeply disappointed by the actions of administrators at Brown, Rutgers, and Northwestern University, who have acquiesced to demands from Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

Over the last month, SJP chapters and their supporters have intensified their propagandistic assault on Jewish students and faculty through disruptive and often violent protests, as well as the construction of massive encampments in common university spaces. In these spaces, students call for “intifada” – violence against Jews, the destruction of the State of Israel, and express support for the terrorist organization Hamas. These displays of antisemitism and extremism have undoubtedly created unprecedentedly hostile environments for Jewish students.

By bowing to the demands of these on-campus hate groups, Presidents Schill, Holloway, and Paxson have sent the message that bigotry and extremism work. Why should students bother following the rules or engaging in respectful dialogue when lawlessness is rewarded?

We’ve all seen the headlines: Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapters continue to set up encampments and lead disruptive anti-Israel protests at commencement ceremonies, in lecture halls, and at other events.

SJP chapters and their counterparts, including those in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) umbrella, remain committed to their unified post-October 7th message to eliminate Israel, incite violence against all who oppose them, and to whitewash Hamas’ terrorism.

This isn’t a secret. As early as October 8th, SJP chapters across the country praised the Hamas attacks, and five days later, many participated in a “Global Day of Resistance.”

Now, in the face of the belligerent and hateful protests organized by these same bad actors, the presidents of a few academic institutions have chosen to give in to an ignorant and illiberal mob, seeking to placate the bigoted demands of the Hamas terror supporters and their useful idiots.

On April 11th, the ADL released the first Campus Antisemitism Report Card, which assessed 85 universities and assigned them a grade (A-F) reflecting the level of antisemitism at each school, according to their research.

Along with MIT, Harvard, and Tufts, my college, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), was 1 of 13 schools to receive an F. I didn’t think antisemitism at UNC was nearly as bad as the Ivies, and I decried the ADL’s methodology, which evaluated public and private universities using the same criteria, amongst other issues.

I have become so desensitized to campus antisemitism that the ADL’s grade surprise me.

It shouldn’t have.

In the past few years, UNC Jews have been subjected to Nazi graffiti, “traditional” antisemitism, student senate BDS resolutions advocating to openly discriminate against us and our Israeli peers, and now cadres of anti-Zionist “protesters” actively try to bully us off campus.

These peers of ours are so brazen in their ignorant or intentional antisemitism that they see no problem suppressing our right to honor Israelis still held hostage by terrorists while demanding their right to lie about how evil we all are for supporting Israel.

Tensions have been rising across college campuses nationwide as Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) groups have erected “Gaza Solidarity Encampments” in response to Israel’s conduct during the current Hamas-instigated war.

Hidden between demands for their universities to sever ties with Israel and all Israel-related products, these encampments have not stopped short of promoting violence and antisemitism. Unsurprisingly, UCLA has become a breeding ground for this current wave of Jew-hatred.

Early on the morning of April 25, 2024, UCLA’s SJP chapter set up tents on the university’s main quad, demanding that the university cut ties with Israel and allow them unrestricted protest, regardless of legality.

For eight whole days, these protestors freely expressed their antisemitic and anti-US anarchical rhetoric. Law enforcement eventually intervened, removing the protestors and dismantling the encampment.

But why was such hostility allowed for eight whole days? Why wasn’t this unlawful, hateful demonstration disbanded from the outset?

It’s hard to imagine that administrators felt handcuffed to arguments of free speech. Any other  members spewing hateful, violent rhetoric on campus would never be able to enjoy the same privileges that these encampment members did.
