Who We Are
Who We Are
We are a coalition of alumni, faculty, students, parents, and community members united by a belief that universities must be spaces of truth, intellectual freedom, and genuine inclusion, not platforms for anti-Western indoctrination or antisemitic hostility to Jews and Israel.
Our Vision
Our Vision
We envision academic institutions reclaiming their roles as pillars of intellectual integrity and spaces for open dialogue, where:
Universities prioritize objective inquiry over ideological agendas, fostering critical thinking and rigorous scholarship.
Jewish and pro-Israel students and faculty are welcomed and respected, free to express their identities and beliefs without fear.
Our Mission
Our Mission
Our mission is to influence academic institutions and restore higher education’s integrity by exposing toxic anti-Israel climate and systemic anti-Western bias. We are committed to ensuring that universities fulfill their true purpose: fostering knowledge, respect, and innovation in an open and just environment.
Our Strategy
Our Strategy
It is no longer possible to reform the universities from within. Our strategy to achieve a meaningful reform in academia is to generate external pressure for change supported by the additional internal pressure.
External Pressure
Generate external pressure for change from the government and massive lawsuits.
Generate pressure on lawmakers and lawyers from the media and the public to pursue legislative and legal actions more aggressively.
Internal Pressure
Generate internal pressure for change to support those inside academia who are aligned with our vision and to oppose those who are not.
Our Approach
Our Approach
Our approach for realizing our strategy is:
Create an archive documenting pervasive hostility to Jewish and pro-Israel voices on campus.
Provide the archive to responsible administrators and faculty to help them implement and justify the necessary changes.
Use the archive to expose antisemitism and anti-Israel hatred on campus to motivate and facilitate government action and lawsuits.
Through social media and other means of mass communication create media and public pressure on the elected officials and lawyers to aggressively push for the necessary changes in academia.
Demand that academic institutions are in full compliance with all laws, such as Title VI, and strictly enforce internal rules and bylaws.
Demand that faculty and top organizers/agitators responsible for the anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli environment on campus are held accountable.
Background and Our Views
Background and Our Views
Over the last few decades, as the result of the "long march through institutions" many universities have been captured by Marxist faculty and started to prioritize Social Justice over the Search for Truth. Colleges and universities became indoctrination factories based on lies rather than intellectual beacons of liberalism and bastions of higher learning.
Pernicious notions such as Critical Race Theory (CRT), Intersectionality, Post-Modernism, Ibrahim X. Kendi's style Anti-Racism and Robin DiAngelo style White Fragility paint the world as driven by simplistic power dynamics of "oppressors" vs. "oppressed" where, based on immutable characteristics, some types of people are always innocent and right while other types of people are always guilty and wrong. Combined with ideologically driven political theories such as Orientalism and Settler-Colonialism, these crackpot notions created illiberal anti-Western, anti-American climate in academia.
It is not surprising that such environment is inimical to Jews and hostile to Israel. However, while pervasive and severe hostility to Jewish students and faculty on campus is a significant issue, it is not our main our main concern. Our main concern is that universities that have the role of thought leadership and education of future leaders are poisoning our society and producing leaders who are destructive to it.
Having observed these changes over a number of years, we have come to believe in the following:

Having observed these changes over a number of years, we have come to believe in the following:
- "Elite" universities with large endowments cannot be reformed from within.
- Unfortunately, as Andrew Sullivan wrote in 2018 article "We All Live on Campus Now," the pernicious notions are spilling out of the academic Ivory Tower and poisoning our society with illiberalism and antisemitism.
- Priority must be given to stopping indoctrination of our society's future leaders. While student and faculty safety and fair treatment are very important, they are a secondary priority.
