Boycott Israeli Universities ? Boycott Ours , Too !
“ As a citizen , I am profoundly disturbed by the recent vote by Britain ’ s new University and College Union to advance a boycott against Israeli academic institutions . As a university professor and president , I find this idea utterly antithetical to the fundamental values of the academy , where we will not hold intellectual exchange hostage to the political disagreements of the moment . In seeking to quarantine Israeli universities and scholars , this vote threatens every university committed to fostering scholarly and cultural exchanges that lead to enlightenment , empathy , and a much-needed international marketplace of ideas .
“ At Columbia , I am proud to say that we embrace Israeli scholars and universities that the UCU is now all too eager to isolate — as we embrace scholars from many countries regardless of divergent views on their government ’ s policies . Therefore , if the British UCU is intent on pursuing its deeply misguided policy , then it should add Columbia to its boycott list , for we do not intend to draw distinctions between our mission and that of the universities you are seeking to punish . Boycott us , then , for we gladly stand together with our many colleagues in British , American and Israeli universities against such intellectually shoddy and politically biased attempts to hijack the central mission of higher education .”
