California rabbi puts colleges on notice after 'national failure' to protect Jewish students

Jewish Federation Los Angeles issued a letter to all California universities calling for action to better protect Jewish college students as they head back to school.

Farkas said that as Jewish students prepare to go back to college, schools and administrators must acknowledge what happened on campus to Jewish students last year, calling it a "national failure and moral tragedy."

"The failure to uphold rules around protests, the slow and inept response by security, and the lack of uniform rules enforcement, led to students and faculty being harassed, doxxed, and denied entry to parts of campus just for openly identifying as Jewish," Rabbi Farkas wrote.
