"The words have been associated by some people with anti-Semitism."
This statement is so inadequate as to be demeaning to the Jewish students and to the speaker and the subject. If you can't call out rank bigotry when it's happening on your watch then find another watch.

Unfortunately, the message Vassar students are getting today from @ehbvassar is the same one they're getting all over America's college campuses: Anti-Semitism will be not only tolerated but excused. Jews are the one minority Dr. Bradley will treat this way, and it's shameful.
It is a conscious choice by Vassar and Dr. Bradley to create an atmosphere in which Jewish students cannot feel safe. They have made their decision to inform Jews that they are not welcome on campus, and if they choose to be on campus, they're on their own. For shame.
