A second Michigan instructor withheld a recommendation letter from student headed to Israel | Washington Post

Kommentar von Honestly Concerned

An einigen Amerikanischen Unis herrschen mittlerweile wirklich unerträgliche Zustände. Hier ein Aktionsaufruf dazu:
Stop Antisemitism Now: "ACTION ALERT: UMich forces students to attend anti-Semitic lectures while profs try to stop Jewish students from studying in Israel. Insist that the president and chancellor take immediate action. Emails: presoff@umich.edu; deanofstudents@umich.edu
Sample letter:
"Dear President Schlissel and Dean Jones,
I am very concerned that the University of Michigan is creating a hostile environment for Jewish students.
The semester has just begun and three anti-Semitic incidents have been widely reported:
• A mandatory lecture comparing the Israeli prime minister to Hitler (demonization); and
• The refusal of Professor Cheney-Lippold and TA Lucy Peterson to write a letter of recommendation for Jewish students for a study abroad in Israel program.
I urge you to
• educate faculty, staff, and students on the State Department and the Department of Education's definition of anti-Semitism, as these two incidents meet their criteria, through a mandatory program;
• take appropriate action against Professor Cheney-Lippold as well as other students and faculty who discriminate against Jewish members of the UMich community.
Please let me know what you have done in these regards.
Thank you.""
