DEI Policies on College Campuses Marginalize and Silence Jewish Students
“This is not a coincidence.”
It sounds like this is by design. As if this outcome was built in to the policy.
Seth Mandel writes at Commentary:
Campus Diversity Is Campus Jew-Hatred
By every metric, American Jewish campus life is a shadow of what it once was. The City University of New York is losing the last two Jewish members of its 80-member senior leadership team—in the city with the largest Jewish population in the world. Jewish enrollment in elite universities, most notably the Ivy League, is in free fall. And a sense of security on campuses nationwide has evaporated, as anti-Semitic incidents have hit all-time highs and students report hiding their Star of David pendants and taking winding paths to their campus Hillel.
By contrast, one area of American higher education has seen explosive growth: the programs and officers charged with spreading the gospel of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
This is not a coincidence.
Much like “Hate has no home here” lawn signs and “Coexist” bumper stickers, DEI university activity has become a reliable indicator of overt hostility to Israel and, at the very least, suspicion of any visible expression of Jewishness.
On campus, DEI bureaucracies are straightforward ideological enforcers. Their ideology views Jews as emissaries of (white) power. That’s why DEI officials aren’t merely indifferent to campus Jew-baiting, but its ringleaders.
Take CUNY. The taxpayer-funded university system’s pervasive anti-Semitism—harassment of students, administrators overheard complaining that there are “too many Jews” on the faculty, and support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction campaign to isolate Israel—is the subject of state and city investigations. Amid such complaints, CUNY’s chancellor in 2021 hired a new chief diversity officer, Saly Abd Alla, and put her in charge of investigating anti-Semitism.

American Jews be like, “Aside from having my bae get shot in the head, I was having a pleasant evening at the theatre. Why do you ask?”
With Islamic imperialists and black racists so well represented in the hiring pool for DEI administrators, no one should be the slightest bit surprised.
Maybe they’re also writing the copy for the “Justice Democrats” fundraising emails?
My inbox is, for some reason, crammed with their requests for money to combat “sinister” AIPAC, who they claim “lost the public opinion battle” and now, with their “insurrection Republican” billionaire allies, are intimidating Progressive “Black and Brown women candidates across the country,” by calling them the A- word, or threatening to “spend against them if they even slightly criticize Israel’s far-right, apartheid policies.”
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you, to learn that money is spent on political campaigns…. Though they may be, as campaigns to elect Progressive candidates across the country was such a good bargain when no one was paying attention.
