Title A name given to the resource Why Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) worries me Subject The topic of the resource The author describes the need for a Jewish "safe haven" of Israel and takes issue with the use of calling the area in question "Palestine" because it "insinuates utter illegitimacy of the Israeli state". Basically, the author seems to be saying that challenging Israel is akin to denying Jews the right to a "safe space."

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource We still have questions for the Hamilton Forum Subject The topic of the resource In response to a Hamilton Forum event. The authors explain that the reason that students protested the event was due to the topic and title of the event being "purposefully inflammatory, harmful to our BIPOC peers and a continuation of the institutional and systemic racism that Middlebury upholds". The authors also state that their letter to the SLG received 649 students and 110 alumni signatures. Authors point out 1. that a major financial contributor to the forum (ISI) is an organization that promotes conservative policies that perpetuate institutional racism; 2. Professor Keegan Callanan, the director of the AHF, is on the council of the National Endowment for the Humanities (which is part of the Trump administration's "push" for "pro-America" curricula); 3. The hosting of this event seems to contradict the commitment Middlebury made to anti-racism in the summer. Finally, the authors express outrage at the way that peaceful/non-disruptive protesters of the event were treated ("Students were kicked off the Zoom call and permanently banned from the forum for various attempts at non-disruptive protest. Although digital protests are a new world for all of us, the AHF would have had no grounds for removing us from the room had this event been held in person and had we attended with the same intention to protest non-disruptively. How, then, is it acceptable that we were removed from this digital event? This [is a] blatant display of censorship").

Authors state that not only is Middlebury lacking "a concrete framework for addressing the racism that is embedded in the fabric of our institution", but that the administration does not have "adequate clarity", "urgency" and is generally "unprepared".

Title A name given to the resource ‘1619 or 1776?’: Hamilton Forum on legacy of slavery draws protest Subject The topic of the resource The Hamilton Forum organized a debate between two visiting scholars Leslie Harris and Lucas Morel regarding the founding of the country and the legacy of slavery. Harris argued that slavery was inseparable from America's history. Morel argued that while the United States was a slave-owning nation, the country was "not rooted in racial hierarchies and its founders intended an incremental approach to abolition". Some students took insult to the very premise of the debate and decided to protest the event.
