Finding the right School in the Age of Campus Anti-Zionism

ADL Demands Action Following Antisemitic Incidents at University of Michigan

In the first incident on Friday, March 22, a University of Michigan student stated on Instagram, “Until my last breath I will utter death to every single individual who supports the Zionist state. Death and more. Death and worse.” The University, understanding the severity of the threat to the Jewish community, increased security patrols on campus.  Yet it appears that no further action has been taken and this student is still part of the campus community.   

In a separate incident on Sunday, March 24, the University’s Honors Convocation was abruptly ended due to disturbances by anti-Israel protestors. The ceremony, honoring hundreds of students with their families in attendance, was halted during President Ono’s remarks. While similar incidents have warranted removal of disruptive parties by security, the University instead abruptly ended the ceremony.
