New University

We, faculty at the University of California, Irvine, are deeply disturbed
about activities on campus that foment hatred against Jews and Israelis.
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
another MSU speaker that the Holocaust was God’s will, the tearing down of
posters placed by the student group Anteaters for Israel, and the hacking
of their web site. Some community members, students, and faculty indeed
feel intimidated, and at times even unsafe.

Firstly, I’m writing to apologize. I don’t have an excuse for what I did, and I deeply regret it.
Secondly, I’m writing to hopefully put a little bit [...]

To whom it may concern,
This letter is in reference to the article you published on Feb 22, 2010
entitled “Black History Month?”
I am shocked and outraged that the New University has shown blatant
disregard for the responsibility inherent to maintaining a school
newspaper.  This article is the single most ignorant, offensive, and
appalling article I have read in any [...]

As the former Chair of the Asian Pacific Student Association, member [...]
