I absolutely condemn the posts attributed to a UC Davis faculty member that recently appeared on the social media platform X. I find the comments revolting in every way, and I disagree wholeheartedly with them.
UC Davis rejects all forms of violence and discrimination, as they are antithetical to the values of our university. We strive to foster a climate of equity and justice built on mutual understanding and respect for all members of the community.
Our community is reeling and in pain from the terror and escalating violence we are witnessing in Israel and in the Gaza Strip. Especially horrific is the use of hostages and the great losses of both Israeli and Palestinian civilian lives. We stand in support of our Jewish and Muslim communities. We deeply mourn this catastrophic loss of life and the destruction of many families and futures.
Over the past several weeks, conflict has intensified in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, causing refugees to flee into Armenia after Azerbaijan claimed control of the area. We continue to hope for lasting peace. UC Davis is committed to supporting our campus community during these challenging times.
The ongoing events in the Middle East are disturbing and frightening. They impact many people in our UC Davis community who have family, friends and colleagues who are suffering.
