Support for our Jewish and Muslim Communities

May 24, 2021

Dear campus community,

There has been a disturbing increase in hateful speech and expression in recent days, on social media platforms, and in public spaces across our country, where recent attacks have been directed at members of the Muslim and Jewish communities. The University’s administration condemns anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and other forms of prejudice and bias, on this campus and beyond. We deeply regret the impact these vile expressions of hatred have on students, staff, and faculty who belong to the targeted communities. Know that we stand with you in solidarity and support. At Berkeley we will continue to do everything in our power to uphold our Principles of Community and provide a true sense of belonging for all. 

Sincerely,
Carol T. Christ
