Op-ed: UC Irvine Faculty Call for Civility During Wall Week

The troubling events over the past few years include the painting of
swastikas in university buildings, the Star of David depicted as akin to a
swastika, a statement (by a speaker repeatedly invited by the Muslim
Student Union) that the Zionist Jew is a party of satan, a statement by

of their web site. Some community members, students, and faculty indeed
feel intimidated, and at times even unsafe.
