CAIR Accuses Indiana U. of Being a ‘Hostile Campus’ for Allegedly Targeting ‘Anti-Genocide’ Students
“after an investigation from CAIR looking at news articles, campus events, administrative actions and reports from students”
It’s probably safe to assume that ‘anti-genocide’ is a euphemism for anti-Israel.
The Indiana Daily Student reports:
IU named ‘hostile campus’ by the Council on American Islamic Relations
The Council on American Islamic Relations named Indiana University a “hostile campus” for Muslim, Palestinian and Arab students. The designation was announced Feb. 6, after an investigation from CAIR looking at news articles, campus events, administrative actions and reports from students. The press release cites the university’s “targeting of anti-genocide students, faculty, and staff advocating for Palestinian human rights.”
“With the designations we sincerely hope that the administrators, the President, look at their policies and review all of the accusations and investigation, all the egregious events that happened and, you know, review everything that we investigated,” CAIR Research and Advocacy Specialist Maryam Hasan said. “You know, to make a better environment for the students, a campus environment that allows students to enjoy academic freedom.”
CAIR, a non-profit advocacy group, which says it is “America’s largest Muslim civil liberties organization.” The hostile campus campaign started in August 2024 to combat Islamophobic discrimination on college campuses and a lack of accountable action in US universities, according to CAIR Research and Advocacy Manager Farah Afify. There are currently 16 schools on the list.
Afify said she wants students to know their concerns are valid and that organizations like CAIR will stand up for them.
“I think it can be so difficult at a time like this, especially when the university you’re attending, the university that is intended to be a safe and comfortable space for you to engage with other students, for you to engage with your research, is treating you in this way, is calling police on you, is treating you as if you are an enemy instead of a student at that university,” she said.
IU did not respond to two Indiana Daily Student requests for a statement.
The university has faced backlash for numerous events and decisions since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023.

IU should advertise this.
It’s like some rapist support organization declaring that a particular college is hostile to rapists; the college would advertise that to potential female students!
Talk about twisting language to fit your narrative. “Anti-genocide” students exactly the stupid lingo Ilhan Omar used at the “encampment “ at Columbia. We are all anti genocide of course just like we all think Black Lives Matter. Next These people will have you believing that murdering Jewish college students is “anti genocide “ as they could go volunteer for the IDF ; a “genocidal army.” So better to kill them now before they can commit a genocide. It’s amazing the mind control and justification of completely horrific behavior you can achieve with language. Well I’m anti CAIR an organization long involved with funding terrorism. Time to stop pandering to them and I agree publish their results proudly as the correct enforcement of school rules on students who were bullying, harassing and threatening other students because of their ethnicity , religion and nationality.
Perhaps, CAIR should take their complaints to Gaza. In case they haven’t noticed, this is the USA, not a nation created to mollycoddle every nutjob camel jockey outfit who feigns hurt feelings cuz we don’t kiss their robes.
Don’t like our rules? Stay home.
