Fifteen years ago, as the American Jewish Committee’s anti-Semitism expert, Kenneth Stern was the lead drafter of what was then called the “working definition of antisemitism.” Now the director of Bard’s Center for the Study of Hate, Stern pens an op-ed about President Trump's executive order applying the definition to college campuses. “It was never intended to be a campus hate speech code, but that’s what Donald Trump’s executive order accomplished this week. This order is an attack on academic freedom and free speech, and will harm not only pro-Palestinian advocates, but also Jewish students and faculty, and the academy itself.”
