• Anti-Israel Haverford College faculty refuse letters of recommendation for Israeli schools (thecollegefix.com) — Faculty activists at Haverford College say they will not write recommendation letters for students applying to Israeli universities, despite a recent settlement that bars discrimination based on Jewish, Zionist, or Israeli identity. The dispute centers on whether professors can refuse letters to specific institutions on political grounds, raising fresh questions for Haverford students seeking opportunities abroad and how the college will enforce its anti-discrimination policies.
