Condemns Rutgers University's acquiescence to anti-Semitic protests.
This symbolic resolution (AR 65) condemns Rutgers University for accepting eight of ten demands made by student protesters who established an encampment on campus in April 2024. The bill claims Rutgers' acceptance of demands - including divesting from companies supporting Israel, ending partnerships with Tel Aviv University, and requiring a "genocide" statement - created a hostile environment for Jewish students through "anti-Semitic rhetoric" and "glorification of violence." The resolution, which has no binding effect, directs the legislature to formally condemn the university and send copies to its leadership. It specifically cites Rutgers' decision to grant "full amnesty" for protesters as evidence of failing to protect Jewish students.
