| Summary/Abstract |
Members of Muslim and pro-Palestinian student organizations and anti-Zionist faculty are the two main sources of anti-Jewish bigotry at the University of California (UC), and their behaviour has had two primary effects: the anti-Semitic language and imagery used by these individuals has caused significant harm to the reputation of Israel and its supporters, both on and off campus; and their behaviour has created a hostile and threatening environment for many Jewish students on UC campuses. Efforts to address the problem of anti-Semitism on UC campuses have generally targeted one of these two effects. These efforts have included: the reactive and proactive campaigns of pro-Israel student and faculty groups, as well as attempts to secure the protection of Jewish students from anti-Semitic harassment through legal means and by applying grassroots pressure on UC administrators. Although none of the efforts has led to a substantial reduction of anti-Semitism on UC campuses, a few of the approaches show some promise.

| Summary/Abstract |
Higher education institutions are among the few places where people of different racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds can engage with each other in more than just a superficial way, providing students a unique opportunity to develop the skills needed to function effectively in a diverse, increasingly global world. Whether students develop this capacity will depend in large part on whether the institution they attend has provided structures for those critical learning experiences to take place. But what form should such learning experiences take? This essay argues that positive cross-racial engagement may require both structured intergroup dialogue and intragroup dialogue opportunities to support the learning needs of both White students and students of color in the context of predominantly White institutions.

| Summary/Abstract |
Clarifying the nexus between water, energy, and carbon has great importance regarding regional sustainable development. A university campus is a multifunctional comprehensive community attribute suitable for exploring campus–scale water–energy–carbon nexus and its spatial heterogeneity. In this study, a theoretical framework of the water–energy–carbon nexus at campus scale was established, the spatial patterns of carbon sources/sinks were estimated, and the characteristics of the water–energy–carbon nexus of different functional areas were investigated. Results showed that campus carbon emission and absorption was 32,119.92 and 557.04 t, respectively. Heat and electricity consumption were the main sources of carbon emissions. Monthly energy–water consumption and carbon emission showed fluctuating trends. Spatial visualization revealed that the highest (lowest) carbon emission was related to the residential (experimental) area. The water–energy–carbon nexus varied among different functional areas, determined primarily by the properties of buildings, energy structure, population density, and human behavior. This research outlines a new policy for low–carbon emission campuses management. Formulating integrated strategies that could help reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy–water saving would contribute to multiobjective realization and promotion of campus sustainability.
