November 8, 2022 - On Monday, Congressman Kevin McCarthy condemned the antisemitic behavior occurring at U.C. Berkeley’s School of Law and the institution’s failure to promote a safe campus for all students.
 
This fall, several student groups made the decision to ban certain speakers from events. Berkeley Law has failed to address these actions.
 
Congressman McCarthy released the following statement:

“Antisemitism is a scourge on our society and has no place in American life. For decades, Israel has not only been our greatest ally in the Middle East, but one of our greatest allies on the world stage. It is shameful that Berkeley Law, an institution which, on its own website, touts itself as “one of the most vibrant places on the planet,” would allow this type of prejudiced behavior to take place on its campus without any consequences for involved parties.
 
“Berkeley Law must step up and immediately condemn these student groups to stop antisemitic behavior on campus. To turn a blind eye and continue to allow this blatant discrimination is un-American and runs directly counter to our values.”
