Hillel International’s Post

The editor focuses on campus protests demonstrating hate for Israel and it's supporters. That's what's most visible right now, and that's what everyone is focusing on. We should keep in mind, however, attacks from the right. The GOP’s Bad Faith Focus on Campus Antisemitism. The party’s assault on DEI only undermines the ability of colleges to address antisemitism. Jonathan Feingold, July 09, 2024 https://lnkd.in/eHuK5RBq And the right's use of antisemitism purely as a political tool to attack democrats. "But the probes have also become a political tool in the GOP campaign" https://lnkd.in/euNZUyvx How Republicans turned reports of antisemitism at colleges into a political strategy.

Perhaps we have the answer here. As we learnt in All The President’s Men, the rule for uncovering political corruption is “Follow the money”. Is Campus Rage Fueled by Middle Eastern Money? - According to a new report, at least 200 American colleges and universities illegally withheld information on approximately $13 billion in undisclosed contributions from foreign regimes.

New article! I'm in the latest issue of Epoch History Magazine, looking at the curriculum, biography as a discipline, and how the South lost the American Civil War: https://lnkd.in/dE_66sqB

Time has long passed for the NY National Guard and the CT National Guard to take control of the Columbia and Yale campuses. Americans, regardless of their race or religion should expect their chosen college campus to be a safe place to learn and live. It is now clear that, like the Biden Administration, fear of upsetting the Jew Hating pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian demonstrators, the Columbia and Yale administrators are more concerned about ruffling the “feathers” of aggressive, insulting, and threatening pro-terrorists than securing their campuses. It is clear that the liberal mayors and governors who have oversight for the location of these schools have no intention of permanently locking down these campuses from violent extremists.

Alongside 150 colleagues from throughout the University of California system, including many major figures in Middle East Studies: Stacy Fahrenthold, Heghnar Watenpaugh, Patricia Morton, Sholeh Quinn; those engaged in cutting-edge Holocaust research: UCLA's Michael Rothberg, and leading and rising historians and area studies specialists: Marian Schlotterbeck and Archana Venkatesan, we sent a letter to UC President Michael Drake calling on him to rescind his plan to spend millions of dollars imposing “viewpoint neutral history of the #MiddleEast ” on our campuses and students. We explain that if the UC administration determines “how and what we teach” in our field, it will “set a chilling precedent” affecting the teaching of all topics of public concern and critical debate like climate change, histories of racism, #genocide, and mass atrocity. We note that his statements question the academic integrity of “scholars already engaged in the historical study and teaching of the Middle East,” and remind him that “the sole responsibility for maintaining the quality of our universities’ academic programs” rests with the faculty. We ask him to “to reaffirm the independence and integrity of UC faculty to educate without outside interference; to rescind the call for “viewpoint-neutral history” that directly undermines the prerogative and ability of UC faculty to educate students.” And we ask him to reaffirm his commitment to protecting academic freedom and the First Amendment right to free speech for students, faculty and staff around the war in Gaza, Israel/Palestine and any other issue of public concern and debate. #AcademicFreedom #history

Since The United Methodist Church General Conference Worldwide Charlotte May 2024 and the separation of another part of the Methodist Churches of their own General Governance, The United Methodist Church has changed their education of universities and colleges of divinity education to the new school showcase and places for new school inclusions. A process where education is coordinated with The United Methodist Churches. Well done. All my life in the Christian Church. Peace to religions. https://lnkd.in/dxuN9mSa
