JNS.org – The California State Assembly passed on Monday a resolution urging action on the increasingly rampant antisemitism on University of California campuses.
The resolution urges each University of California campus to “adopt a resolution condemning all forms of antisemitism and racism.”
The bipartisan measure was introduced by State Senator Jeff Stone (R-Riverside County) following a series of events that targeted the Jewish state on University of California campuses, including an incident at UC Davis where a swastika was painted onto an Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) Jewish fraternity and a UCLA student council vote to disqualify a Jewish student from a campus government position.
The resolution was previously passed unanimously by the State Senate, 35 to 0, in May, as well as by the California Assembly’s Higher Education Committee, 8 to 0, in June.
The American Jewish Committee (AJC) applauded the California lawmakers for approving the legislation.
“Anti-Semitism must be confronted without any equivocation, for it threatens not only Jews but the values Americans cherish,” AJC Los Angeles Regional President Dean Schramm said.
“We join with the Members of the California State Senate and Assembly in urging the UC Board of Regents and all UC campuses to swiftly adopt resolutions condemning antisemitism and to work toward a more secure and friendly environment for Jewish students,” he said.
