![]() ![]() It hardly should be news that some students - including some Jewish students - are strongly condemning of Israel’s policies. To my surprise, this received news coverage. ![]() The vast majority of students and faculty are unaware that this is even going on among leaders of some student groups. There are more than 100 student groups in Berkeley Law, and several have done this, but the overwhelming majority, over 90 percent, have not. A law student group, Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine, asked other student groups to put in their bylaws a statement strongly condemning Israel and its policies. What is most important is that universities be a place where all ideas can be expressed and where all are treated with tolerance and civility.Ī recent incident at the law school where I am dean, UC Berkeley, is instructive. No one should be surprised that there are deeply held feelings about the Middle East on college campuses. ![]()
