UCLA Chancellor's Announcement re: Anti-Semitism



UCLA Chancellor, Julio Frenk, who recently replaced Gene Block, has sent a campus-wide email to the student body announcing how he plans to confront and eliminate anti-Semitism on his campus. It mostly consists of educating students about anti-Semitism and forming a task force to make recommendations.

Here is the report from the Daily Bruin, which has a link to the email's content.

Nice words, but it sounds like the same old same old. Frenk should be an improvement over Gene Block, who in my view, did very little to protect Jewish students. Over the years, he presided over a dramatic increase in campus anti-Semitism. 

What UCLA needs to do is what all universities need to do; remove the instigators, ban SJP and JVP permanently, and let every student know that if they disrupt the operation of the university, harass Jewish students, occupy buildings, and break things, they will be arrested, prosecuted and expelled. If they are foreign students, their I-20 will be lifted and ICE can deport them. Educating students about anti-Semitism is fine, but it's not going to work with the pro-Hamas crowd.

If you really want to make the campus safe for Jews, remove the ones who are making it unsafe for Jews. It should be simple.
