Hundreds of Oberlin alumni demand officials address claims of rampant anti-Semitism on campus
Some 225 Oberlin College alums have signed an open letter calling on the university to address what they contend is rampant anti-Semitism on campus.
They are led by Dr. Melissa Landa, a professor at the University of Maryland and a 1986 alumna from Oberlin College, who says the anti-Israel, anti-Jewish speech from those on campus aligned with the highly controversial Boycott, Divestment and Sanction movement have caused stress and heartache among the school’s Jewish student population.
“For the last few years, I have been hearing reports about the Oberlin campus becoming increasingly hostile for students who express their Jewish identities by supporting Israel,” Landa stated in an email to The College Fix.
Landa organized the Obies Against Anti-Semitism closed Facebook group and serves as something of a spokeswoman for its members.
