U of California Starts Again on Intolerance Policy

The University of California Board of Regents on Thursday declined to adopt a new policy on intolerance and instead formed a working group to study the issue. Some pro-Israel groups have been urging the board to take a stronger stand against intolerance, making the argument that there is growing anti-Semitism on UC campuses. But others have said that some of what the pro-Israel groups want -- particularly making demonization of Israel a form of intolerance under university policy -- would squelch free speech.
