Students, faculty rally to protest finalist for UW chancellor Radenka Marić

Students for Justice in Palestine and other student organizations hosted a rally with faculty in opposition to University of Connecticut President Dr. Radenka Marić — one of the University of Wisconsin chancellor finalists. Students and faculty spoke outside of Memorial Union Friday night demanding UW not appoint Marić as chancellor and to divest in Israel. “Marić, Marić you can’t hide, we charge you for genocide,” rallyers said. Marić faced criticism in her current role over nearly 700 emails regarding UConn’s handling of the Israel-Palestine conflict and student protests, according to reporting by the Daily Campus, UConn’s student newspaper. The emails contained information in which Marić discussed her contact with the FBI over student surveillance as well as plans to raise funds for academic partners in Israel, according to the Daily Campus.
