Professor David Myers, a Nexus Project Task Force member and professor of Jewish history at the University of California, Los Angeles, co-wrote an op-ed for the LA Times calling the Trump administration’s lawsuits around antisemitism on college campuses a “dangerous charade.” After the Trump administration announced it would suspend $584 million in federal research grants to UCLA, Myers wrote the suspension is a “shallow and disingenuous plot to destry [UCLA] and the values of free inquiry and debate in the name of a dangerous, illiberal ideology that has been against higher education for years.” He warned against the university’s use of antisemitism as a pretext to advance its authoritarian agenda: “What this destructive path will not do is make the campus safer for Jews — or anyone else, for that matter.”
