What’s Next for UW and the Fight Against Antisemitism?

WEBINAR: What’s Next for UW and the Fight Against Antisemitism? 

The UW Jewish Alumni Association invites you to a critical conversation about the future of Jewish life at the University of Washington.

Date: Wed, Feb 19
Time: 6:00 PM PT | 9:00 PM ET
Location: Virtual (Zoom link provided upon RSVP)

After a scathing report from the Antisemitism Task Force, settling a Department of Education investigation and facing a Brandeis Center lawsuit, UW is at a crossroads. Will the university take real action under its new President—or just sweep the problem under the rug?

Featuring:
Professor Janet Baseman
– Co-Chair, UW Antisemitism Task Force & Professor of Epidemiology
Denise Katz-Prober – Director of Legal Initiatives, Brandeis Center
Professor Paul Burstein – Professor of Sociology Emeritus, Former Head of Stroum Center for Jewish Studies

Find out what’s actually happening and learn how you can take a stand. Don’t let UW turn the page without accountability.

Here’s the Zoom link!

Key Topics:

  • Is UW actually implementing its Task Force recommendations?

  • What does the Brandeis Center lawsuit and Trump’s new Executive Orders mean for Jewish students, faculty and staff?

  • Will UW’s federal settlement lead to real change—or is it just damage control?

  • What is going on with the "Palestine Studies” push and will it make antisemitism worse?

  • What is the role of the Jewish Studies department in all this? Or Hillel?

  • How can alumni, students, and faculty push UW toward meaningful action?
