ABOUT THIS LECTURE: Is it as bad as we’ve been led to believe?

How has the increasing support for the Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment initiative effected campus climate and attitudes toward Israel? Is there evidence of greater hostility towards Jews and reports of instances of discrimination? Are the responses and interventions of the Jewish Community helpful? What has been the reaction of Jewish students and academics to the Hillel Israel guidelines?

Should J St. U be included in the campus Jewish Community? Is the next generation inclined to continue being actively engaged on behalf of Israel? Does the expression of support for BDS and embrace of an anti-Zionist position constitute antisemitism?

These and other questions will be considered by a four decade plus veteran of the campus wars.
