After weeks of questions about acceptance of Jewish students on campus, the University of California Los Angeles student council passed a four-page resolution condemning anti-Semitism.
The resolution stood against, among other points, making stereotypical or dehumanizing allegations about Jews as well as “accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interest of their own nations.” It passed 12-0 Tuesday night at the meeting of the Undergraduate Students Association Council.
Last month, the student council violated those tenets, in the eyes of many members of the Jewish community on campus.
During a Feb. 10 council meeting, members interviewed sophomore Rachel Beyda for a position on the student government’s judicial board. Beyda, a member of a Jewish sorority who is also part of Jewish campus organization Hillel, described her desire to become a lawyer, and her legal experience from internships.
Video and minutes from the meeting showed council member Fabienne Roth questioning how Beyda could remain “unbiased” given her active role in her Jewish sorority.
