Alums for Campus Fairness (ACF) strongly condemns the student government at Marquette University (Marquette) for unanimously passing a Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) resolution on Monday, April 25th.

This BDS initiative not only contributes to an environment of antisemitism, but actively promotes antisemitism through the demonization and delegitimization of Israel, the nation-state of the Jewish people. BDS and any form of bigotry has no place at Marquette.

ACF will remain unified in combating BDS and all forms of antisemitism at Marquette. We call on the greater Marquette community to stand with Jewish students, pro-Israel students, and their allies on campus.

About ACF: Alums for Campus Fairness (ACF) leverages the unique power of alumni to combat antisemitism on college campuses. ACF helps organize and cultivate alumni chapters for colleges and universities across the country, equipping members with tools, tactics, and training to proactively engage with administrators.
