In April 2021, California Polytechnic State University's Associated Students, Inc. unanimously passed the IHRA definition of antisemitism - one of the first universities in California to do so.
The resolution was led by graduate student Jenny J. in partnership with ASI representative Jordy R., following an antisemitic vandalism incident at the AEPi house on campus earlier that year. SSI worked alongside the students at Cal Poly to help bring the resolution from idea to vote. |
"I met with SSI's President Ilan, who helps student groups pass resolutions to protect Jewish students through the IHRA definition of antisemitism. That same day I connected with Jordy Roth, an ASI representative who agreed to help introduce it to the board. On January 27th, the AEPi house at Cal Poly was vandalized with swastikas — sadly fortuitous timing to our open forum meeting. On April 7th, 2021, the resolution passed unanimously by both the review board and the executive board. I appreciate Ilan, Jordy, and the ASI at Cal Poly for their immense help in making this happen." Jenny J. | Graduate Student, California Polytechnic State University
