he president of Rutgers University recently announced that he will step down from his position at the end of the 2024–2025 school year. His decision comes in the wake of significant pro-Palestine demonstrations at the school’s campuses.
Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway made the announcement in a Sept. 17 statement.
“In August, I informed Amy Towers, Chair of the Board of Governors, that the 2024-2025 academic year will be my final year as university president,” Holloway wrote.
“I will take a sabbatical the following year during which I will return to long-standing research projects before joining the faculty on a full-time basis,” Holloway explained. “This decision is my own and reflects my ruminations about how best to be of service.”
Not everyone was satisfied with Holloway’s decisions during his tenure at the university.
One Jewish student at Rutgers told Fox News that the school’s administration left “behind the Jewish/pro-Israel students to deal with an unruly and obviously antisemitic crowd, whose attention turned to the Jews after the administration left.”
