has long been known as one of the “most Jewish” colleges in the United States. But its traditional reputation masks an ugly truth. Antisemitism abounds on campus, and administrators are failing to protect Jewish students from blatant discrimination. In an ironic twist, well-intentioned diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives are at least partially to blame.
At least part of the answer lies with the university’s specific approach to DEI, including the adoption of mandatory diversity classes. The university's Office of Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement website begins with a land acknowledgment and asks students to “take a moment to consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement that inform and impact us all.
But when students complained to administrators, they were met with more hostility and even retaliation, according to the complaint. The university sent a campuswide email on the matter, framing it as a “political debate” and defending Sheehi. They subsequently opened disciplinary proceedings against the students who came forward to voice their concerns, never even disclosing the nature of the charges against them.
