The rise of antisemitic attacks should alarm all of us. Antisemitism and bigotry - like all forms of hate - have no place in our world, and it’s on each of us to combat this growing threat. @POTUS is right to take on this issue, and he deserves our support. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

The UTK Religious Studies Department condemns the proposed cutting of UVM's Department of Religion @REL_UVM. This potential move threatens the future of their important, vibrant, and engaged research and teaching at a time when the study of religion is so critical.
