Zionists Need Not Apply to San Francisco State University?

Almost four months after San Francisco State University (SFSU) and California State University (CSU) promised to remove SFSU professor Rabab Abdulhadi’s inflammatory post indicating that Zionists are not welcome at SFSU from the Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Initiative Facebook page, it remains. At the Algemeiner, Campus Watch West Coast representative—and SFSU graduate—Cinnamon Stillwell asks why such bigotry is allowed to stand.

What’s worse, this was the first such incident in which SFSU or CSU had pledged to do anything about Abdulhadi’s ongoing incitement against Israel and its campus supporters. President Wong issued a statement distancing the University from Abdulhadi’s post, confirming that such declarations “cannot be done in a way that implies university endorsement or association” and promising to take “corrective action.” CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White reacted similarly, noting in an emailed statement that although “it is not yet clear whether this faculty member will comply with the request” to remove the post, “the University will explore all appropriate options with respect to this conduct.”
