The AMCHA Initiative

"Cal will clarify that the word 'Zionist' cannot be used as a 'proxy' for Jew or Israeli, according to the settlement agreement, and will 'rigorously evaluate' discrimination claims for that purpose." jweekly.com/2026/03/19/cal…

Some faculty are part of the problem. The Committee's report—released yesterday—found professors spreading or excusing antisemitism and leaving Jewish students feeling isolated and unsafe. The report ⬇️ edworkforce.house.gov/news/documents…

JFRG's Statement Regarding the AMCHA Initiative's Report, "When Faculty Take Sides: How Academic Infrastructure Drives Antisemitism at the University of California": drive.google.com/file/d/1VZYcDG…

"Another similar report, released in February by the AMCHA Initiative, touched on faculty antisemitism in the University of California (UC) system.... The AMCHA Initiative argued that the University of California system is a microcosm of faculty antisemitism, a vivid portrait of 'how concentrated networks of faculty activists on each campus, often operating through academic units and faculty-led advocacy formations, convert institutional platforms into vehicles for organized anti-Zionist advocacy and mobilization.' The AMCHA Initiative explored faculty antisemitism before, stressing that while student activities drive headlines, faculty act with impunity and wield governing power which shapes the campus culture and limits the power of college presidents to oppose them." algemeiner.com/2026/03/18/us-…

Upcoming at Duke tomorrow...

At UC Berkeley, today's rally at Sproul Plaza was advertised as: "Iran has the absolute right to defend itself against US-Israeli aggression-glory to our martyrs in Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, and across West Asia."

Upcoming at Penn State University: "the US and Israel are the biggest threats to life in the Middle East. US imperialism and Zionism, at their core, are hell-bent on the extermination of anything that stands in the way of their ambitions, from control of land to resource extraction. The people of Palestine, Lebanon and Iran refuse to submit or surrender. In the face of relentless bombings and mass murder, they have remained steadfast against US and Zionist aggression."

"There really is systemic problem with faculty and the politicization of the academy. The problem is about anti-Zionism and antisemitism and the consequences is harassment of Jewish students and faculty." Read more: californiaglobe.com/fr/startling-r…

Startling Report Details How Pro-Hamas UC Faculty Incited Targeted Harassment of Jewish Students californiaglobe.com/fr/startling-r…

"The report finds that faculty affiliated with Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine (FSJP) 'played a significant role in legitimizing and amplifying antisemitism on college campuses,' and that campuses with FSJP chapters were seven times more likely to experience 'violence against Jews.'" jewishinsider.com/2026/03/house-…

"The report found evidence to support... Faculty members are legitimizing and amplifying antisemitism on college campuses. Across multiple universities, the Committee discovered many faculty members who promoted antisemitism. Faculty members sought to strip Jewish students of protections against harassment, incited or celebrated violence, and left Jewish students isolated and alienated." edworkforce.house.gov/news/documents…
