The organizations sent a letter to the university this week demanding that it publicly affirm that antisemitism will not be tolerated.
In January, a graduate researcher and teaching assistant in the university's chemistry department suggested penalizing Zionist students for being pro-Israel, according to a series of letters sent from SWU and LBD to the university.
Rasha Anayah defended what she called her fair treatment of students in response to the poll she posted on Twitter on Nov. 15, the Forward reported Thursday.
“Ethical dilemma: if you have to grade a Zionist student's exam, do you still give them all their points even though they support your ethnic cleansing?” she wrote. Like idk.”
"Y’all allah looking out for me. The majority of undergrads in chem here are white, and i was blessed enough to be paired w[ith] a black woman to mentor who has good race analysis. Didn’t get pinned with an Israeli or some b**ch white boy to have to share my knowledge with. alhamdulilah," read the tweet.
The university informed StandWithUs that it had completed its investigation but has not made its institutional response public, citing privacy laws, according to SWU and LBD. In the letter, the organizations mentioned that privacy laws "do not shield the university from its obligation to protect Jewish students, prevent a hostile campus climate for Jewish students, and deter similar acts of antisemitic discrimination and harassment."
