See Page 4 See Page 7 See Page 12 J Street U Emily Bamford’s pursuit of the Olympic dream reacts to ASA boycott JULIA MONGEAU ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Bates has recently added the col- lege’s voice to a educational conflict in Israel. President Clayton Spencer re- cently joined many other colleges and universities in rejecting the American Studies Associations boycott of Israeli academic institutions. In her official statement released January 10th, Spen- cer articulates, “Academic boycotts strike at the heart of academic freedom and threaten the principles of dialogue, scholarly interchange, and open debate that are the lifeblood of the academy and civil society.” Many argue that the prevention of the exchange of ideas and the hindrance of academic freedom are major reasons to disagree with the boycott. Those in support of the boycott suggest that it is necessary action in order to make sig- nificant strides towards a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. None the less, a relatively unknown organiza- tion has recently become infamous and caused a widespread reaction and a divi- sion of opinions in the academic world. In a note from ASA National Coun- cil on the ASA website, the council com- mented “The resolution is in solidarity with scholars and students deprived of their academic freedom and it aspires to Bamford ‘15 poses during a team photo shoot.
