ABOUT THE EVENT:
Join us for a thought-provoking book talk exploring the forces reshaping American higher education and the growing concerns surrounding antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment on college campuses. Drawing on firsthand experience as a former Columbia Business School professor, Shai Davidai examines how radical political movements, ideological pressures, and institutional responses have contributed to a campus climate increasingly hostile to Jewish, Israeli, and American perspectives. This timely conversation will explore the challenges facing universities today and raise important questions about academic freedom, institutional responsibility, and the future of higher education.
