Alums for Campus Fairness Launches Six-Figure Ad Buy Calling on NU President Michael Schill to Resign
Comes as Congress calls on Schill to testify for cutting deals with antisemitic protestors
Follows NU students' visit to Hill

Alums for Campus Fairness (ACF) announced today it is launching a six-figure TV, digital and mail campaign calling on Northwestern President Michael Schill to be fired.

Today’s ad campaign comes as the House Committee on Education and the Workforce announced that Schill is being called to Capitol Hill to testify in front of the committee for making concessions to antisemitic protestors.

The committee’s announcement follows the visit of 15 Northwestern students to Capitol Hill last week where they told horrific stories of antisemitic hatred being spewed on campus with the enablement of administrators and faculty.

“Michael Schill’s tenure at Northwestern is one marked by refusing to define antisemitism, turning a blind eye to antisemitism unfolding on his campus, and cutting deals with antisemitic protestors – it’s time for him to go,” said ACF Executive Director Avi D. Gordon. “We applaud the House Committee on Education and the Workforce for taking Northwestern’s student’s concerns seriously, which is a lot more than we can say for Michael Schill.”
