Haley Stevens Statement

The allegations in this indictment are serious and deeply troubling. Every student, faculty member, university leader, and member of our community deserves to learn, work, and engage without fear of intimidation, harassment, or violence.

The University of Michigan has long been a place where debate and civic engagement thrive. Freedom of expression is a core value, but it is not a license for criminal conduct. Attempts to silence others through threats, coercion, or violence have no place in Michigan and must be met with accountability. Political violence and antisemitism must be confronted wherever they appear. 

I will always support efforts to combat antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all forms of hate.
