Letter to the Editor
encampment
The surprising thing I learned when I was invited into UR’s Free Palestine encampment
It was the fact that these students were here at all, on this quad, in this camp, acting in solidarity with the several hundred thousand Palestinians refugees who, because of the war, were now forced to live in tents. This didn’t feel like a UR thing.
Administration
Letter to President Mangelsdorf
This school has made me afraid to speak out against genocide.
graduate school
International student rights are workers’ rights
There is a perpetual lack of support for international students at the University. Since we do not receive a W-2, many of us cannot receive a Social Security Number, thus restricting our ability to rent an apartment, secure a credit card, or get a driver's license. We also do not receive sufficient assistance and support for complex tax filing requirements or reimbursement for immigration fees.
Faculty
Letter to the Editor – Welcome message
Your presence at the University of Rochester, each one of you, is significant because you add a thread to the fabric of who we are as a community.
divestment
An open letter to all members of any university community
I strongly oppose the proposed divestment resolution. This resolution is nothing more than another ugly manifestation of antisemitism at the University.
femininity
A Note for Elena: I love having my words twisted
Nowhere in my article did I say men couldn’t be feminine, wear pastel colors, or dresses. But the article wasn’t about men. It was about why I loved being a woman.
Antisemitism
Letter to the Editor: “I cannot condone the protests against Israel”
I truly believe that the "pro-Palestinian" protestors on the River Campus are shamelessly and remorselessly fostering antisemitism.
discourse
Letter to the Editor: “A call for nuance”
It feels like, whether praising or criticizing Israel, I must add "but..." so as not to appear too firmly opinionated.
Israel
Letter to the Editor: “Israel-Palestine from a Jewish staff member”
I am able to step back and disengage when I am not listening in good faith. I am also sorely aware that this ability is not afforded to Palestinians.
Genocide
Letter to the Editor: “Revelations in the ruins”
We must continue to rally and march to show strength and ensure that genocide does not happen in complicit silence.
