Campus vigil on Israel and Gaza, and the college president’s role in the wake of world crises
Preview:
Williams students, faculty and staff,
As many of you are aware, I have not issued a public statement on behalf of the College in the days following the recent, horrific attacks by Hamas on Israelis and the deaths of Palestinian civilians in the military retaliation. I have heard from members of the community that the college’s silence in the face of these events is itself a statement, and an unacceptable one.
