University of Rochester Faces Backlash Over 'Wanted' Posters Targeting Jewish Faculty

The posters, deemed antisemitic by university officials, accuse individuals of war crimes and have sparked a campus-wide investigation.

Hundreds of 'wanted' posters were found on the University of Rochester campus, targeting Jewish faculty and staff with accusations related to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
University President Sarah Mangelsdorf condemned the posters as antisemitic and vowed that such actions would not be tolerated.
The university's Department of Public Safety is investigating the incident, which has been classified as vandalism due to the damage caused by the adhesive used on the posters.
Jewish Voice for Peace, while denying involvement, argued that the posters were intended to criticize support for Israeli military actions, not to promote antisemitism.
Local and national leaders, including Senator Chuck Schumer, have called for accountability and condemned the posters as acts of intimidation and hate.
