(Jewish Group) Investigation finds Hillel improperly excluded from SFSU student fair

[Behind the Aegis]

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!!

After five months of investigation, San Francisco State University officials have concluded that SF Hillel “was improperly excluded” from a campus civil rights information fair early this year.

In an email to J., a SFSU communications officer said the investigation found that, “SF Hillel was improperly excluded from the Know Your Rights Fair by the self-organized and self-appointed planning committee… The unfortunate decision by this group to exclude Hillel from the Fair represents an unacceptable breach of the University’s values, policies, and standards for inclusion and respect expected of all members of our University community.”

Concerned parties, including Hillel, were privately informed of the decision on July 21.

As detailed in a J. cover story on May 3, the dispute arose after Hillel was dropped from participating in Know Your Rights, an information fair held in February that was geared toward “vulnerable populations who may be feeling targeted in the new political climate,” according to the event web page, and which presented workshops on legal resources and immigrant rights, and tabling opportunities for student organizations.

Hillel had initially been invited to take part in the event, and staffers gladly accepted. Several days later, Hillel staffer Jason Steckler received an email: “Dear community organizer, thank you for your interest. We are at capacity.”

1. How wrong is that.

Every single recognized religious group should have been included. No exceptions.

So sorry this happened.
