Alums for Campus Fairness Stands with Jordan Acker, Condemns Antisemitic Attacks

Alums for Campus Fairness unequivocally condemns the recent antisemitic attack targeting University of Michigan Regent Jordan Acker and his family. This marks the third such act of harassment and vandalism on Acker since October 7, 2023.

The vandalism, including shattered windows and anti-Israel graffiti of the family car, reflects a troubling escalation in antisemitic threats faced by Jewish leaders. These actions are not only dangerous but also undermine the values of justice and safety that academic institutions should uphold.

We stand in solidarity with Regent Acker and commend his courage in continuing to serve despite these baseless attacks. Jewish leaders and students deserve unwavering support and protection from their communities and institutions.

ACF calls on the University of Michigan and law enforcement to take decisive steps to prevent future incidents and ensure accountability for the actions of those found involved.
