UC board chair stands strong against cancel attempt for supporting Israel

The chair of the University of California system’s Board of Regents has not backed down as a coalition pressures him to resign over his engagement with pro-Israel social media content.

“The moral bankruptcy and bigotry of UC Regents Chair Richard Leib is not welcome in our university community, and we will remain steadfast in our demands for his resignation,” the UC Palestine Collective said in an email to The College Fix.

The Fix asked Leib for comment on the accusations via LinkedIn message but did not receive a response in the past two weeks. The Fix also contacted the general regents email for comment on Tuesday but no response has been received.

Leib, who is Jewish, “has personally met with Arab, Jewish and Muslim students” to hear their concerns about hostility on campus, according to a UC spokesperson.
