“It’s no wonder that in the recent, choking chaos of antisemitism that has erupted so forcefully, American Jews are only very gingerly laying claim to or even defining their position as Jews.”

Universities have been misapplying institutional neutrality policies, and as a consequence, silencing the very expression these policies were meant to protect. This pattern, writes @mark_yudof of @TheAENetwork, can only be corrected with clear guidelines.insidehighered.com/opinion/v…

🎓 Commencement is an incredible milestone — and also an opportunity to put Jewish and Zionist pride on display. You may spot faculty wearing #FAAM pins and shirts, graduation caps with Stars of David, and messages of Jewish resilience. Kol HaKavod, Class of 2026!

This Jewish American Heritage Month, we are celebrating our faculty, who do so much outside of the classroom. 💙 They mentor students, challenge misinformation, advocate for their Jewish and Zionist colleagues, and build bridges. To all of them, we say thank you!
