Wright State University statement on proposed boycott of Israeli higher education

Wright State University President David R. Hopkins

As President of Wright State University, I am honored to stand with the leaders of our sister institutions in opposition to any boycott of Israeli higher education. In our mission statement, we assert our commitment to diversity. To us, diversity goes beyond race and ethnicity to embrace age, religion, gender, economic status, education background, sexual orientation, mobility and, most important to a university, thought. At our core, we believe in the value and power of the individual.
