The university has hosted events about the conflict in the Middle East and plans to host others in the future. The university management is currently working together with students and employees from diverse backgrounds to hear their perspectives and foster exchange and understanding. They have met with Jewish/Israeli groups as well as groups that sympathize with Palestinians. They have also spoken with others who do not align themselves with a particular group, but still wish to critically examine the situation in the Middle East. The university president and other members of the Executive Board have initiated and hosted these conversations in various settings and formats over the last few weeks, and there are plans to organize further events, including informational sessions, consultations, as well as lectures by renowned scholars, researchers, and members of relevant organizations.
