Rabbis condemn Duke student government's 'despicable double standard' on 'Jew-hatred'

The Coalition for Jewish Values, which represents some 2,000 Orthodox Jewish rabbis, condemned the Duke University student government's decision to deny recognition to a pro-Israel group, claiming the move demonstrated a "despicable double standard" on "Jew-hatred."
The Duke student senate had granted full recognition to a chapter of Students Supporting Israel (SSI) on November 10, but Student Government President Christina Wang later vetoed the move. The senate then voted to uphold the veto on Nov. 17. Duke President Vincent E. Price and Provost Sally Kornbluth expressed concern about the revocation in a statement on Wednesday.
In a statement to student senators first reported by the Duke Chronicle, Wang claimed that SSI "singled out an individual student on their organization's social media account in a way that was unacceptable for any student group."
