Israel-Palestine
The Mahmoud Khalil reckoning
Higher education's institutional mission is bedrock to American democracy. Safeguard the former and maybe we can salvage the latter.
graduate school
From humble beginnings to collective power
By focusing on these interconnected needs, the GLU seeks to empower all graduate workers and create a more equitable, supportive academic environment.
Antisemitism
The ‘wanted’ posters at the University of Rochester are unambiguously antisemitic. Here’s why.
As an educator who is deeply committed to fostering an open, inclusive environment and is alarmed by the steep rise in antisemitic crimes across this country and university campuses, I feel obligated to explain why this poster campaign is clearly an expression of antisemitism
letter to the editor
When it happens to you: A personal reflection from a “wantee”
My name is Joy Getnick and I'm the Executive Director of Hillel at the University of Rochester. You might recognize my name because I am one of the people featured on the ‘wanted’ posters.
2024 election
Creating a climate of engagement and empowerment
Creating an engaged campus climate counters feelings of apathy with intellectual curiosity.
2024 election

Vote for the big races, and vote for the small races — every election will impact the communities we live in.
encampment
The surprising thing I learned when I was invited into UR’s Free Palestine encampment
It was the fact that these students were here at all, on this quad, in this camp, acting in solidarity with the several hundred thousand Palestinians refugees who, because of the war, were now forced to live in tents. This didn’t feel like a UR thing.
Administration
Letter to President Mangelsdorf
This school has made me afraid to speak out against genocide.

International student rights are workers’ rights
There is a perpetual lack of support for international students at the University. Since we do not receive a W-2, many of us cannot receive a Social Security Number, thus restricting our ability to rent an apartment, secure a credit card, or get a driver's license. We also do not receive sufficient assistance and support for complex tax filing requirements or reimbursement for immigration fees.
Faculty
Letter to the Editor – Welcome message
Your presence at the University of Rochester, each one of you, is significant because you add a thread to the fabric of who we are as a community.
