There is a difference between diversity and outright hatred. How is it okay to even debate a qualified applicant’s validity based on their religion? Again, that’s not diversity of opinion. That’s anti-semitism. I’m glad the measure passed, but it doesn’t change the sentiment of the elected leadership, which reflects very poorly on the school.
I’m from another UC. I know from experience that schools don’t do nearly enough to protect against anti-semitism, compared to other minority groups. They “apologize” and “write letters” but there is no support.
