    The purpose of this letter is to remind our university community that any harassing conduct has no place at UB. This includes antisemitic, anti-Muslim, anti-Arab harassment, or any other harassing conduct targeting any individuals or groups. Again, I cannot state strongly enough that this harmful behavior has no place in our university.

    We condemn the brazen attack by Hamas, and we hope for the safe release of the more-than 150 hostages. Despite the stark reality that warfare, once initiated, rarely resolves expeditiously, we continue to pray for an end to the bloodshed, and for enduring peace and stability in the region.

    Welcome to a new academic year at the University at Buffalo! Even as you savor the waning days of summer, I hope you are as enthusiastic as I am about the start of our fall semester. To see our campus bustling with activity today is to appreciate the collective intellectual energy of our university!
