More than 1,600 Jewish Harvard alumni have put their alma mater on notice: Address the antisemitism on the Ivy League campus or face a loss of donations.
“We never thought that, at Harvard University, we would have to argue the point that terrorism against civilians demands immediate and unequivocal condemnation,” members of the Harvard College Jewish Alumni Association (HCJAA) wrote in an open letter to President Claudine Gay and Dean of Harvard College Rakesh Khurana. “We never thought we would have to argue for recognition of our own humanity.”
CNN reported that the organization was formed last month in the aftermath of the school’s response to the Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel by Palestinian militant group Hamas. Organizers told the outlet it is the first Jewish alumni association in Harvard’s history.
