   University of California Berkeley law professor Steven Davidoff Solomon   
   has criticized his own students for supporting “antisemitic conduct” on   
   campus.   
      
   In an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal, Solomon stated that if   
   employers do not want to hire individuals who advocate hate and practice   
   discrimination, they should not hire some of his students.   
      
   Solomon’s criticism comes in the wake of a national conversation sparked   
   by Harvard Law students being linked to anti-Israel activist groups.   
      
   “My students are largely engaged and well-prepared, and I regularly   
   recommend them to legal employers,” Solomon wrote in an op-ed published in   
   the Wall Street Journal Sunday.   
      
   “But if you don’t want to hire people who advocate hate and practice   
   discrimination, don’t hire some of my students. Anti-Semitic conduct is   
   nothing new on university campuses, including here at Berkeley.”   
      
   Solomon also condemned a student group at Berkeley, Law Students for   
   Justice in Palestine, for advocating a bylaw that banned supporters of   
   Israel from speaking at events.   
      
   He called for legal employers to exercise discretion in the hiring process   
   and not hire students who endorse hate or anti-Semitism.   
      
   In response, the Assistant Dean of Communications at Berkeley Law stated   
   that faculty members have the right to express their views, but their   
   opinions do not represent the institution.   
   Hundreds of Harvard faculty members said they were “deeply concerned about   
   the events in the Middle East, as well as the safety of our students here   
   on campus” in the letter to Harvard President Claudine Gay.   
      
   “In contrast, while terrorists were still killing Israelis in their homes,   
   35 Harvard student organizations wrote that they hold ‘the Israeli regime   
   entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,’ with not a single word   
   denouncing the horrific acts by Hamas,” according to the letter.
