""There is no good evidence that antisemitism is rampant on campus," says the philosopher Judith Butler, who teaches at UC Berkeley and whose name was among those shared with the Trump administration. "To take a position against genocide is certainly not an antisemitic thing to do. Most Jews are against genocide, and we were taught to be against genocide, and we were taught, as well, that 'never again' is a slogan that should apply to all people.""
"UC Berkeley said Friday it's provided Trump officials with the names of at least 160 students, faculty and staff, complying with a federal investigation into alleged antisemitism on college campuses. On September 4th, UC Berkeley's top lawyer, David Robinson, sent a letter to each person whose name and information had been shared with the federal government. The letter said, in part, the Education Department's Office of Civil Rights, quote, "required production of comprehensive documents, including files and reports related to alleged antisemitic incidents," unquote."
