Brown University faces new allegations of antisemitism over a vote supporting a boycott of Israel. U.S. Sen. Rick Scott criticizes the university, pushing for his Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act.

Brown University facing more allegations of antisemitic action

(The Center Square) – Brown University is facing more allegations of antisemitism after its latest public move against Israel.

U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., sent a letter to the university Board of Trustees urging reconsideration of the choice to hold a vote that endorses a boycott of, divestment from, and sanctionS on Israel.

The news comes as universities around the country grapple with antisemitism on campus.

Scott’s letter says the decision to hold the vote resulted in the resignation of Joseph Edelman from the board, and he commended Edelman for criticism of the board to appease the protestors.

“I strongly believe that colleges and universities that fail to stand up to hate and antisemitism do not deserve to receive federal taxpayer funding, and I am fighting to pass my and Senator Tim Scott’s bill, the Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act, to force consequences on universities like Brown that endanger Jewish students by caving to radical groups, some funded by Iran, that sympathize with Hamas terrorists and wish to destroy the State of Israel,” Scott wrote.
