'There’s an uncomfortable amount of anti-Semitism on my campus,' said the incoming senior.
Last year, her campus newspaper ran an ad from a notorious Holocaust denier for several weeks, despite protests from the Jewish community. More troubling, she said, were the anonymous posts that appeared under the ad, stating that the Jews 'deserved it' and they 'better watch themselves.' And a professor who teaches an introductory course on the Middle East makes 'openly false statements about Israel,' she charged.
Boris told her story to a group of Jewish students who joined some 300 of their peers from Aug. 11 to 15 at Washington University in St. Louis at the Hillel Institute, a summer training session designed to help them prepare for Jewish engagement work on campus."
