New Voices, the indispensable Jewish students magazine, is out with a new issue, featuring a fascinating report on the the University of California at Irvine, and a divide between campus Jewish activists and outside Jewish groups over the extent of anti-Semitism at the 25,000-strong state institution. Some student leaders say the problem is being exaggerated, or is at least no worse than at other state universities. The ZOA begs to differ, of course, and may have cost one student leader a leadership role.

Daniel Schroeter, a professor of Jewish Studies, has a key quote:  

“I think part of the reason it’s such an issue is the outside organizations, on both sides, reaching in and making it one. A whole lot of allegations get blown out of proportion.”
