Virginia Tech's Graduate and Professional Student Senate just passed a shameful resolution that meets the internationally accepted definition of antisemitism. As alumni, we value VT not only as a world-class academic institution, but as a safe, welcoming place for Jewish students. That is why we are calling on the VT administration to condemn this egregious resolution and move swiftly to adopt the IHRA's working definition of antisemitism as countless other universities and institutions have already done.
