An administrator with the diversity, equity, and inclusion office at the University of Michigan was terminated after being accused of making antisemitic comments. The administrator, Rachel Dawson, was alleged to have made derogatory remarks about Jewish individuals during a conversation at an academic conference on diversity and equity.
Accusations against Dawson included statements such as 'The university is controlled by wealthy Jews' and 'We don’t work with Jews. They are wealthy and privileged and take care of themselves.' Additionally, she was accused of claiming that Jewish people have no genetic connection to the land of Israel.
