In an Aug. 30 letter to the university's president, Richard Levin, Ma'en Areikat cited the Aug. 23-25 inaugural conference of the Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism. The conference was titled 'Global Antisemitism: A Crisis of Modernity.'
'As Palestinians, we strongly support principles of academic freedom and free speech, however racist propaganda masquerading as scholarship does not fall into this category,' Areikat said."
