Tell University of California President Yudof that “‘No comment’ is not enough!” when it comes to hate speech targeting students!
Students are upset that so far University of California President Mark Yudof has refused to comment on UC Santa Cruz lecturer Tammi Benjamin’s Islamophobic claims that Students for Justice in Palestine and Muslim Student Association members have “ties to terrorist organizations”. This is especially troubling given that Yudof once stated that UC admin have a “moral obligation” to condemn harmful speech in his prepared remarks at an ADL dinner. Please sign the petition and share these flyers widely!
