The flava:
UC Berkeley has provided 160 names of students, staff and faculty to the federal government, which has been conducting a probe into alleged antisemitism on college campuses nationwide.
UC Berkeley provided the personal information of these students and staff at the direction of the University of California’s Office of the President, according to The Daily Californian, UC Berkeley’s student paper. Affected students received an email on Sept. 4 notifying them that their names had been released.
An anonymous graduate student told the newspaper that the names targeted seem to be Muslim and Arab individuals who expressed support for Palestine.
Among those accused of “potential connection to reports of alleged antisemitism” is noted feminist theorist Judith Butler, who has previously said that their Jewish upbringing drove her to speak out against the state of Israel through Jewish Voice for Peace.
Butler told the San Francisco Chronicle that UC’s compliance has “echoes of McCarthyism.” . . .
