College Administrations Urged by CAM to Do More to Protect Jewish Students After University of Michigan Street Assault

The Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) issued the following statement after a Jewish student at the University of Michigan was physically beaten on a street in downtown Ann Arbor early Sunday morning in an incident local police are investigating as a hate crime:

“The Combat Antisemitism Movement is appalled by the news that a University of Michigan student was assaulted over the weekend solely because he identified as Jewish. This incident is yet another example of the persistent threats and intimidation Jewish students continue to face on campuses following October 7. We call on university administrations to do more to protect Jewish students and send a clear message that there is no tolerance for on-campus hate.”
