The faculty of the Department of French and Italian wish to express our unwavering support of the University Administration, the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and the Center's director Bruno Chaouat, in light of the recent lawsuit filed against them.
We applaud the University's defense of its core mission: to promote academic freedom, foster sound research practices, and provide students and our community with informational resources that have been vetted to academic standards. We especially applaud our colleague Professor Chaouat for renewing the Center's commitment to address the issue of Genocide and Holocaust denial all over the world.
