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.
