Hillel International has gotten into the fight against antisemitism in the University of Wisconsin system, enrolling administrators in a free educational program and presenting to the UW System Board of Regents.
It’s not clear if there has been a speaker before at a board of regents, on antisemitism, at a large public university anywhere. If so, it’s likely a rarity.
“We were pleased to provide Hillel the opportunity to address the board,” said Mark Pitsch, spokesman for the UW-System. “It’s critical we identify issues so we can educate and sensitize our university communities to these issues.”
