The University of Michigan has apologized for sending an email calling for “the advancement” of “anti-Semitism.”
“If we are to become a more diverse, equitable and inclusive University, we must continue our journey and renew our commitment to this work, which includes the advancement of anti-racism, anti-ableism, anti-Semitism, gender equity and building a climate resistant to sexual misconduct,” the email read, in part.
The school apologized for the email, and a second email was sent out which added the word “dismantling” in front of “anti-Semitism:”
“Earlier today an e-mail was sent to our campus community outlining our commitment to the next phase of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts,” Vice Provost for Equity and Inclusion Robert Sellers explainedl.
“In our effort to communicate our commitment to advancing numerous Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts, we inadvertently suggested that we support anti-Semitism.”
While some might write the initial email off as a simple error, others might wonder if the email’s original verbiage was a Freudian slip, given that the campus is no stranger to antisemitism.
Last year, UMich’s student government accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing” in reaction to the country’s response to Palestinian terrorists launching dozens of rockets at Israel from Gaza.
In 2017, the university’s student government voted in favor of a resolution that would see the university investigate divestment from companies that do business in Israel. The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement seeks to systematically destroy Israel through financial means, by boycotting companies that do business with Israel.
In 2018, the university hosted speaker Emory Douglas — as part of a mandatory lecture series — who compared Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler, and labeled both “guilty of genocide.”
That same year, a UMich professor refused to write a recommendation to a student who was planning to study abroad in Israel.

No they did what they intended get it out there
In other words, the BDS was caught in spilling the beans about its true ideology.
Hmmmmm. Sounds like a flaw in the education system. Paid $100K and doesn’t know the definition of the word.
Since the vast majority of Jews are white, the original email almost certainly reflected their true beliefs.
One cannot sincerely apologize for that sentiment so expressed. One can say the words of apology but it is not real because it dissembles about the real desire and the real actions to be taken. It’s more like “Sorry about your discomfort but we are going to do this.”
The reality is that some jackass representing the University of Michigan typed that email. He is the one who should be fired, not the University of Michigan....
They were hating on Israel when I was there back in the 70’s.
Was this a case of ignorance at a center of higher education? I think not! Will the person who sent the email be fired or set to retraining camp until they get their mind straight?
The LEAST educated farmer in the world knows to NOT let the fox into the hen house.
“If we are to become a more diverse, equitable and inclusive University, we must continue our journey and renew our commitment to this work, which includes the advancement of anti-racism, anti-ableism, anti-Semitism, gender equity and building a climate resistant to sexual misconduct,” the email read, in part.
The school apologized for the email, and a second email was sent out which added the word “dismantling” in front of “anti-Semitism:”
Which makes the text:
...the dismantling of anti-Semitism, gender equity...
UN. Of Michigan hasn’ t changed from the 60s. At least they are consistent!!!
