Additional quotes by Sylvia Burwell

This hateful act of antisemitism is reprehensible. Jewish students live in both rooms where the doors were vandalized," Burwell wrote. "When we are so deeply focused on our community of care – supporting each and every member of our community who is in pain and feeling scared and vulnerable –it is unacceptable that our Jewish community was targeted and harmed through this act. Hate speech will not be tolerated.”
