Alums for Campus Fairness (ACF-San Francisco State) strongly condemns Associated Students (AS) at the San Francisco State University (SFSU) for passing a Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) resolution.

The passage of this discriminatory resolution is indicative of a disturbing trend of antisemitism at SFSU. Universities should be pillars of truth, academic freedom, and open discourse, and when these values are compromised for any group, including Jewish and Zionist students, university administrators must respond appropriately.

With over 270 signatories to our ACF-San Francisco State petition, we ask President Mahoney to make it clear that there is no place for hate on campus.
