anti-semitism photoThe University of California system is supposed to protect students and employees from anti-Semitism, so what’s up with you, Cal-Irvine?

Dozens of civil rights groups are demanding a response from the University of California, Irvine administration for its failure to address a pattern of hostility and aggression against Jewish students.

“We are 36 Jewish and civil rights organizations representing hundreds of thousands of supporters who are deeply concerned about the long-standing and pervasive problem of anti-Semitic anti-Zionism that has incited hatred of Jews and acts of aggression and violence against Jewish and pro-Israel students on your campus,” the AMCHA Initiative wrote in a letter to the school’s administrators that was co-signed by the other advocacy groups.
