Two HBCUs partnered with the Academic Engagement Network, announcing a “first-of-its-kind” project to combat rising antisemitism.
The University of South Carolina received a grant from AEN of up to $75,000, which it will use to launch the new initiative. South Carolina State University and Voorhees University will host the pilot launches this year, and the partnership will expand to “at least six” more HBCUs in the Palmetto State over the next two years.
The program aiming to combat this “strain” at its roots will offer students taking a required 101 initiative class the opportunity to study this topic the whole year. Those students will complete capstone projects, visit Hillel and Chabad chapters at other campuses, and receive training on how to advocate common causes the two communities share.
AEN will support the schools in creating a “toolbox” of policies and procedures tailored to the needs of the individual campus in order to facilitate a deeper understanding of the Jewish identity. As part of the partnership, each HBCU will establish incident response teams to establish a campus culture free from antisemitism, while addressing antisemitic incidents swiftly.
Divisions grew wider during debates surrounding affirmative action in the 1970s, as well as the views of prominent black leaders like Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan, who made statements “that were very difficult for Jewish people to hear.” Elman pointed to the Deadly Exchange campaign, an anti-Zionist movement led by left-wing Jewish organization Jewish Voice for Peace.
