Edit request
Hello. I am a consultant working with United Talent Agency. I am hoping an editor can update Jay Sures’ page to include his recent action as a UC regent condemning the UC Ethnic Studies Faculty Council's request that the University of California retract its statement condemning the October 7 attack as “an act of terrorism.” I have provided suggested language and secondary sources below.

''In October 2023, Sures in his role as a UC regent, publicly rebuked the UC Ethnic Studies Faculty Council request that UC leaders retract their statement declaring the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel “an act of terrorism…that deserves and requires our collective condemnation.” Sures expressed concern these faculty members were perpetuating hate and discrimination rather than advocating for “constructive paths to improve the situation for Israelis and Palestinians.” Weeks later the UC Regents committed $7 million to emergency mental health services, programs focused on better understanding antisemitism and Islamophobia, and training for faculty and staff on how to navigate their roles as educators. ''

I believe this letter merits inclusion on Wikipedia because it received notable media coverage, reflects challenges facing universities across the country in addressing tensions relating to the Israel-Hamas war, and led to concrete, university-wide actions.
