How Stanford Can Do Away With Campus Antisemitism - Commentary

Larry Diamond, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, and Jeffrey Koseff, professor of civil and environmental engineering and oceans at Stanford, and a senior fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, write:  Stanford University has a serious antisemitism problem. It is not only Jews and Israelis who suffer. Many students now censor themselves for fear of crossing a demand for solidarity against “oppression.” This climate of bias threatens the university’s mission to champion critical inquiry and rational debate. We have come to this unfortunate conclusion after six months of research involving more than 50 listening sessions and interviews with students, faculty, staff, alumni and parents.
