ADL doesn'€™t acknowledge others™ work on Northeastern University anti-Semitism, groups say

Susan Tuchman, director of the ZOA Center for Law and Justice, explained that ZOA “prepared a letter back in July detailing all of the problems that Jewish students were suffering” at Northeastern. The letter noted that international affairs professors Denis Sullivan and Berna Turam as well as economics professor M. Shaid Alam promoted an anti-Israeli agenda and mocked Jewish students for their views. ADL followed up by sending Northeastern President Joseph Aoun its own letter, which Tuchman said repeatedly referenced ZOA’s initial letter.

“ADL never sent us a copy of [their] letter, never reached out to us to work together on the issue,” Tuchman told JNS.org.

“We would be much more effective if we were working collaboratively,” she said.

Tuchman added that ADL also did not mention the work of ZOA and APT on Northeastern anti-Semitism in a recent letter by ADL New England Region Board Chair Jeffrey Robbins to his board.

“No mention of the fact that ZOA contributed to that effort, no mention of the fact that [Northeastern] Hillel contributed to that effort, no mention of the fact that [APT President] Charles Jacobs contributed to that effort,” Tuchman said.
