Dear President Welty,

Thank you for your response though it does not address most of the issues raised.

The University runs on taxpayer funds so I fail to see how the University can organize an event without using taxpayer funds.

Further, what you said does not excuse CSUF using the University name to sponsor what are political events which advocate, among other things, the boycott of a US ally, namely Israel. Can you please respond to the following points raised by AMCHA regarding your invitation to anti-Israel extremist Ilan Pappe who is an advocate of the boycott of Israeli Academics http://www.usacbi.org/endorsers/(international endorser #70) a boycott also advocated by the event organizer, Dean Samiian of the Middle East Studies Program (#499).

The University’s sponsorship of these politically motivated and directed events are in clear violation of the will and intention of the CSU Trustees, who formally resolved that “outside speakers brought to the campus will contribute to educational values, that is the pursuit of truth and citizenship values, and not be brought in for propagandizing purposes.“ Indeed, this resolution of the CSU Trustees introduces CSUF’s 2005 policy on outside speakers and events.

These events are in violation of CSU policy and the California Education Code (89005.5), which prohibit the use of the name of any CSU campus for the support, endorsement, or advancement of political or partisan activity or program, with “boycott” specifically named.

The fact that events which will undoubtedly foment hatred of the Jewish state and its supporters are being organized and promoted by University faculty, senior administrators, departments, and colleges cannot help but create a hostile environment for Jewish students at CSUF, Cal Poly, and CSUN, in violation of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.


There is ample testimony that CSU is creating a hostile environment on Campus for Jewish students.

I thank you in anticipation of your response to these points.
