University of California Jewish Student Campus Climate

An interesting document: Fact-Finding Team Report and Recommendations. My friend and colleague with a firsthand knowledge of the situation there vouches for its accuracy.

Well, about accuracy: it is claimed that there is no question of physical safety for Jews. I have heard that it
is not very safe to wear a kippa
at UC Berkeley at times of pro-Palestinian vigils. There were more than one case of serious beating.

I haven't heard of such cases, and if the report's authors know of them but didn't include them, this would be really scandalous (not to mention the cases themselves that would create a huge uproar). Are you sure this is not just unfounded rumors? Any references?

I heard about this a few years
ago. I doubt I can find the reference, let alone to prove the report authors knew about it.

I'll ask my friend who gave me this reference. He is very well-informed.
