Addressing Antisemitism in Cornell University Student Union

Take action now and urge Cornell to stand up against hate and hold the CGSU-UE accountable.

Cornell’s graduate student union (CGSU-UE) is pushing a resolution calling on the university to adopt elements of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.

This resolution is not about improving working conditions or supporting graduate employees. It is an attack that targets Jewish and Israeli students, and it is the latest in a series of antisemitic incidents within the union.

Under the collective bargaining agreement, graduate students are required to either join the union or pay related fees. While the agreement provides students the right to opt for a charitable contribution in place of union dues, union leadership has obstructed this process by delaying or denying such requests.

Cornell leadership must reject this discriminatory campaign and ensure that all students, including those who feel targeted or silenced, are protected.

Take action now and urge Cornell to stand up against hate and hold the CGSU-UE accountable.
