This is reminiscent of the purging of Jewish professors from the universities in Nazi Germany. The statement of the college president means nothing if nobody is held accountable.
If only the campus terrorists spent as much time in their studies as they do in their brazenly hateful crimes, the Jewish students and professors would feel safer. I'd love to know where the money came from to print all those despicable posters. What next, demanding that all Jews on campus wear the yellow star?
Jewish donors to the University of Rochester should immediately withdraw their generosity, and anyone thinking of applying to the college should find a better one.

"Posters criticizing faculty for their response to the Oct. 7 attacks or alleged ties to the Israeli war effort in Gaza were found plastered Sunday night on walls, floors and chalkboards at the school’s western New York campus, the Rochester Beacon reported.
"The posters accuse faculty members of “misuse of power and racism” and supporting “ethnic cleansing” and “the displacement of Palestinians.”
“I want to be as clear as I can that the University of Rochester strongly denounces the recent display of ‘Wanted’ posters targeting senior University leaders and members of our faculty, staff, and Board of Trustees,” university president Sarah Mangelsdorf said in a statement Tuesday. “This act is disturbing, divisive and intimidating and runs counter to our values as a university.”
"The school’s Department of Public Safety is investigating the vandalism, noting in a statement that it will exhaust “all available resources to collect evidence and hold those involved accountable for their actions.”
"Joy Getnick, executive director of UofR’s Hillel, who was also featured on one of the posters, said the group has since reached out to the Rochester Jewish Federation, the Anti-Defamation League, Hillel International and the Secure Community Network to determine their next steps.
“They disproportionately singled out Jewish faculty and staff, and
used language that spreads harmful, antisemitic ideas about Jewish
people and Jewish indigeneity,” she said, adding that she hopes the
school’s investigation will lead to accountability, “meaningful
education and healing.”
