The University of Michigan recently announced the Raoul Wallenberg Institute for Research and Education around antisemitism.
The institute will be housed within LSA, with collaborations throughout the university community, including with the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies and its faculty.
“Through these efforts, we are bringing together leading U-M expertise and diverse perspectives toward a safer and more inclusive world, and even more, a brighter world of peace,” President Santa J. Ono said in announcing the efforts during the Dec. 7 meeting of the Board of Regents.
"President Ono's announcement will allow us to enhance the collaborative work we have been doing to combat and confront antisemitism and divisiveness by drawing inspiration from the values Raoul Wallenberg represented: courage, humanity, and leadership," commented Professor Jeff Veidlinger.
The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion expects to announce complementary efforts related to enhancing religious inclusion and interfaith engagement in the coming weeks.
