Alums for Campus Fairness applauds Brandeis University Board of Trustees and President Ron Liebowitz’s public condemnation of the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre in The Boston Globe. We commend the administration and Board of Trustees for their leadership in standing up for the safety and security of Jewish students and combatting antisemitism at Brandeis. The ACF-Brandeis Chapter will continue to work diligently with the university on those efforts.

“Universities are in the business of educating the next generation of leaders. This means creating an environment that encourages discussion, debate, and critical thinking. It does not, however, mean subsidizing the propagation of hate speech and the promotion of terrorist activity that leads to unsafe conditions for anyone on campus,” said Lisa Kranc, Board of Trustees Chair.
