TU Berlin President Expands Antisemitism Initiatives

Geraldine Rauch strengthens university efforts after backlash over her engagement with antisemitic content.

Geraldine Rauch, president of the Technical University of Berlin, faced criticism for liking an antisemitic post during the Gaza conflict.
In response, Rauch has introduced measures such as a dedicated consultation hour for Jewish students and increased collaboration with the university's antisemitism commissioner.
The university has organized various events with Jewish members and established an independent awareness team to monitor protests and ensure peaceful dialogue.
Rauch considered resigning amid the controversy but ultimately decided to remain in her position, citing both criticism and support from the university community.
She expressed deep regret for her actions and is committed to looking forward and enhancing the university's approach to combating antisemitism.
