Alums for Campus Fairness Statement on Northwestern Antisemitic Vandalism

Once again, antisemitic harassment and intimidation are front and center at Northwestern. The words “Death to Israel” and Hamas iconography were spray-painted on a campus building where Jewish studies and Holocaust education are taught. This was not a random act of vandalism; it was a calculated effort to intimidate Jewish students during Passover. Sadly, this is becoming the norm at Northwestern. 

President Michael Schill must swiftly identify those responsible and enforce real consequences. His continued inaction is jeopardizing both student safety and Northwestern’s relationship with the federal government.
