Remove ADL Director Abe Foxman as Suffolk Law's 2014 Commencement Speaker

The Issue

Suffolk University’s recent announcement of Anti-Defamation League (ADL) National Director, Mr. Abraham Foxman as the speaker at the Law School’s Commencement has not only come as a shock but has also deeply upset many students. Mr. Foxman's views on many issues offend the student conscience:

Mr. Foxman’s opposition to the United States’ recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Read more here and here and here.  

His continued support and propagation of racial profiling for the entire Muslim community in the United States.

His opposition to the construction of Park51, the Muslim community center, near the World Trade Center site.
