UC Regent says levels of campus antisemitism and anti-Muslim hate are 'absolutely disproportionate'

University of California regent John A. Pérez discussed campus hate in a recent Politico talk where he noted a "disproportionate" rise in antisemitiism compared to anti-Muslim hate.

"We reject all forms of hatred. But what we’re not seeing is massive student protests targeting every Muslim-identified student, asking students of Muslim or Arabic background to denounce or renounce something that they have no part in. The numbers and the spikes are vastly different, and the types of incidences are vastly different." Taylor Penley is an associate editor with Fox News.

Adding context to the conversation is an anti-Israel protest that upended a dinner for graduating students at UC Berkeley law school dean Erwin Chemerinsky's Oakland, California home last week, the disturbance indicative of the divide generated by sparring in the Middle East.
