Jewish Community Leaders Say Cal Poly Humboldt Protests are not Anti-Semitic.

3. Thank you. Too bad the thread is being ignored.

Made some other posts trying to add nuance about the local situation and mostly been ignored too.

Many (but not all) liberal and Tribe leaders have also made a similar statement. The conservatives are gloating because CPH is the most liberal and Democratic institution in Humboldt County.

"In early February, Jewish community leaders contacted University administration requesting a meeting on urgent problems and solutions. It took three months to get a one-hour meeting. During that time the situation deteriorated, and the University failed to engage with us in any meaningful way. We were surprised to read a recent press release in which the University stated they “have been in touch with Jewish community leaders.” This is inaccurate. Now it appears that our well-intentioned elected officials have been misled by the University.

The protests loudly demonstrated a lack of cultural sensitivity and indifference to alienation of Jewish students with opposing views. The University ignored offers of help from Jewish leaders and failed to provide students, faculty and staff with resources to address antisemitism and support Jewish life on campus. This must change. At a long-awaited meeting on May 2 with the Dean of Students, it was agreed that vigorous, long term effort is needed to educate the Cal Poly Humboldt community about and respond to antisemitism. Crimes and discrimination must be taken seriously, and spurious charges of antisemitism must be scrupulously avoided."
