As a leading figure in the national conversation on campus antisemitism and accountability in higher education, Rabbi Berman was tapped to share his perspective amid a wave of national headlines鈥攊ncluding President Trump鈥檚 suspension of foreign student visas at Harvard due to the university鈥檚 foreign ties, campus unrest, and antisemitic protests, and the U.S. Department of Education鈥檚 scrutiny of Columbia University鈥檚 accreditation status for alleged Title VI violations. In this climate of rising concern, Mornings with Maria turned to him for moral clarity and values-driven leadership.
During a wide-ranging conversation with anchor Maria Bartiromo, President Berman called for a bottom-up reckoning鈥攁 fundamental reexamination of how universities operate, including their curricula, tenure processes, and core purpose. 鈥淚f that bottom-up conversation happens,鈥 he said, 鈥渢hen the root cause of antisemitism鈥攚hich is the instability and insecurity on campus鈥攃an finally be addressed.鈥

These students, he added, can be powerful forces for good. 鈥淭hey can be the ambassadors and the bridges if they are in the right place.鈥
President Berman concluded with a call to action: 鈥淧eople want to go to a place that is not just safe, but actually speaks with conviction.
