Overview

• Bray told students he received multiple death threats, including one with his home address, and said he notified the university and authorities.
• The Rutgers chapter of Turning Point USA launched a Change.org petition seeking his removal, accusing him of promoting militant anti-fascism; it had about 900 signatures as of Tuesday.
• Bray says he will continue teaching his Rutgers courses online for the year and disputes claims that he is an antifa organizer or financier.
• Rutgers acknowledged the petition and Bray’s message to students, saying it is gathering information, while Bray said he received support from a dean for his safety and academic freedom.
• The dispute intensified after federal rhetoric labeling antifa as terrorism, with critics citing his book’s pledge to donate proceeds to an International Anti‑Fascist Defense Fund and supporters launching a counter‑petition that surpassed 1,300 signatures.
