According to the Yale Chaplain’s Office, an increasing number of students have expressed interest in engaging with the religious communities on campus.
Yoni Diller, an attendee at the Supernova music festival, shared his story of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack against Israel and spoke about reports of rising antisemitism on college campuses.
Last week, anti-Palestine messages in English and Hebrew were written on an entryway whiteboard; the Grace Hopper Head of College sent an email to students affirming “academic freedom” and urging adherence “to accepted standards of mutual tolerance.” The email did not explicitly mention the whiteboard messages.
University President Peter Salovey condemned the attacks against Israel by militant group Hamas; in his statement, Salovey took a more forceful stance than presidents of peer institutions, including the seven other members of the Ivy League.
