Alyza D. Lewin to Speak in Webinar: Anti-Zionism as National Origin Discrimination (April 30)

Brandeis Center President Alyza D. Lewin was the featured speaker in an upcoming webinar produced by UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI Charitable Trust). The webinar is titled “Anti-Zionism as National Origin Discrimination with Alyza D. Lewin.” It takes place on Zoom on Sunday, April 30, 2023 at noon EDT.

The U.S. Department of Education recently announced a milestone Resolution Agreement with the University of Vermont in a case involving anti-Semitic harassment. It was alleged that the University failed to respond adequately to anti-Zionist harassment and discrimination. The agreement requires the University to recognize and address anti-Zionist harassment as a form of national origin discrimination based on shared ancestry.

Alyza D. Lewin, president of The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, the organization that filed the University of Vermont complaint, discussed how the case can serve as a model for global efforts to protect Jews from “new anti-Semitism.”
