(Jewish Journal) The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) California chapter called on the University of California chancellors to retract their stated opposition to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
In December, the ten UC chancellors issued a statement calling BDS “a direct and serious threat to the academic freedom of our students and faculty.”
In a letter to the chancellors and the UC Board of Regents, CAIR-CA said that the UC chancellors’ statement “ignores the continued reality, that faculty and other professionals who voice their support of BDS, are often targeted and denied tenure, speaking engagements, and other terms of employment because of their support of BDS.”
