UCLA’s David Myers Resigns as Center for Jewish History President

Campus Watch was among the “right-wing” attackers and “hawkish Zionist activists” (according to The Forward) who urged the Center for Jewish History (CJH) not to hire anti-Israel UCLA professor David Myers as president in the first place. Myers now claims such criticism was not, in fact, the reason for his resignation, but we welcome the news nonetheless. Let’s hope CJH makes a better-informed decision next time.
