Condemns Rutgers University's acquiescence to anti-Semitic protests.
This Assembly Resolution (AR 140) is a symbolic condemnation, not a law, addressing Rutgers University's response to student protests. It specifically criticizes Rutgers for accepting eight of ten demands from protesters who established an encampment at Rutgers University-New Brunswick on April 29, 2024. The demands included divesting from companies supporting Israel, ending partnerships with Tel Aviv University, and accepting Gazan students, while the protesters used anti-Semitic rhetoric and glorified Hamas violence. The resolution states Rutgers’ acceptance of these demands created a hostile environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff, and urges the university to uphold campus safety policies. It directs copies to Rutgers' leadership but has no legal effect.
