‘Entitled people with large audiences can amplify their grievances for attention and profit.’ Harry & Meghan reviewed, plus other letters to the editor for Dec. 26
: While I applaud University of Toronto president Meric Gertler’s condemnation of antisemitism, he goes beyond the scope of his committee’s recommendation and singles out the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of such as especially unworthy of endorsement. That he does this so blithely only adds fuel to an otherwise unnecessary fire.
We look forward to working with the university to advance shared goals of equity and inclusion, and to put an end to the repugnant intolerance and ignorance that have been brought to light.Comments from University of Toronto president Meric Gertler do nothing to persuade B’nai Brith Canada or Jewish community members that the school’s administration understands the severity of its antisemitism problem.
The university would be failing its students and faculty members by not adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, which we do not think Mr. Gertler refers to accurately. His comments reconfirm to us that the University of Toronto seems incapable of solving its antisemitism problem on its own.While University of Toronto president Meric Gertler accepted the recommendations of a working group, implementation is far from complete.
The university can combat harmful stereotypes and tropes while respecting academic freedom and encouraging critical debate and scholarship, but doing so requires the implementation of measures that the administration pledged months ago to support.Re: It is indeed, in that it reveals critical shortcomings in decision-making.
