ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA ACTION ALERT ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Urge Fordham U to Stand by Its Correct Decision to Reject Antisemitic/Anti-Israel Students for Justice In Palestine (SJP) Club In December 2020, Fordham University prevailed in a legal battle initiated by student supporters of the antisemitic, Israel-hating campus group that calls itself “Students for Justice in Palestine” (SJP). The New York Supreme Court’s Appellate Division, First Department, upheld Fordham’s decision to reject an SJP club at the University. The New York State Court of Appeals declined to review the Appellate Division’s determination. Now, SJP’s allies are trying to pressure Fordham to rescind its correct and principled rejection of SJP. SJP’s allies have initiated an online email campaign demanding that Fordham recognize SJP as an official club. The campaign falsely claims that “Fordham’s administrators have sided with right wing lobby groups' punitive tactics aimed at silencing and intimidating students and academics advocating for Palestine.” In fact, as the Appellate Division determined, Fordham’s decision to exclude SJP was an exercise of the University’s “honest discretion.” It was reasonable for Fordham to conclude that an SJP club would “work against, rather than enhance” the University’s commitment to “open dialogue and mutual learning and understanding,” the Appellate Division stated.
