California lawmakers on Thursday approved a resolution urging University of California campuses to adopt a resolution condemning anti-Semitism.
The measure, SCR 35, was introduced after a series of troubling incidents at UC campuses in recent months, including the vandalism of a UC Davis Jewish fraternity with Nazi swastikas in January.
The resolution faced opposition from some students who said it could stifle academic discourse and block criticism of the state of Israel.
The Senate approved the resolution, 37-0, on Thursday. The Assembly passed the resolution, also unanimously, on Monday.
The resolution "sends a clear message that bigotry and hatred of Jewish people shall not be tolerated in California," said Sen.
