President’s Advisory Committee on Preventing Antisemitism and Hate
The President’s Advisory Committee on Preventing Antisemitism and Hate will play a critical role in working with the administration, the faculty and the campus community to help create conditions in which students, faculty and staff of all religious and cultural affiliations can thrive. The Committee will work to reduce hate on our campuses, including antisemitism, Islamophobia and other forms of hate.
Committee Charge
The Advisory Committee will provide guidance and advice to Northwestern University's president and provost to help ensure that the entire University community stands for learning, civil discourse, and informed dialogue on even the most intractable conflicts, and that our students, faculty, and staff can work together and engage in debate and discussion without fear of harassment or intimidation.
