When Professor Ron Hassner made the decision to stage a sit-in protest at his University of California, Berkeley office until the school’s administration agreed to take seriously rising campus antisemitism, several other local professors were inspired to visit the professor of political science in solidarity as he ate and slept in his office — and taught class from there — for two weeks. Encouraged by Hassner’s activism and the support he received from other concerned faculty, the Academic Engagement Network announced it will coordinate a national campaign called the Faculty Against Antisemitism Movement (FAAM) and #KeepTheLightOn, eJewishPhilanthropy has learned exclusively. Courtesy/Ron HassnerProfessor Ron Hassner shows the bed he set up in his office to protest antisemitism at the University of California, Berkeley, in March 2024.

  • Winderman’s view: A sobering, empty feeling at the end for Heat, but not unexpected
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Wednesday - 05/01/2024 - 09:52 PM

    BOSTON — Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 118-84 NBA playoff loss to the Boston Celtics: – So what did we learn about the 2023-24 Heat? – Not nearly enough. – If anything. – Be it because of Jimmy Butler’s indifference to the regular season. – Or be it because of the injury-depleted state of the roster in the playoffs. – Yes, there were a few feel-good stories along the way, from the development of Jaime Jaquez Jr.

  • Heat season ends with a shorthanded whimper in 118-84 loss in Boston
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Wednesday - 05/01/2024 - 09:50 PM

    BOSTON — No, they didn’t have enough. No, there wasn’t a next man up. And perhaps most significantly, there was no Playoff Jimmy. So, in the end, a playoff crash and burn for the Miami Heat, their season coming to an end with Wednesday night’s 118-84 loss to the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. In retrospect, coming away even with their single win in the best-of-seven opening-round Eastern Conference playoff series probably was a degree of overachievement. “We’re not going to put this on the fact that we had some injuries,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

  • UCF continues impressive transfer class with addition of ETSU corner Sheldon Arnold II
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Wednesday - 05/01/2024 - 07:47 PM

    UCF continued its impressive showing in the transfer market by landing a commitment from former East Tennessee State cornerback Sheldon Arnold II. Arnold, an All-American with the Buccaneers, becomes the eighth transfer commitment for the Knights since the end of spring camp on April 12. The 6-foot-1, 191-pound defensive back spent three seasons at ETSU, totaling 57 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 3 interceptions and a forced fumble in 30 games. In 2023, he appeared in 11 games (5 starts) and was third on the team in tackles (53), 2 interceptions, and a forced fumble. East Tennessee State capped off a 3-8 season, including a 2-6 mark in the Southern Conference of the Football Championship Subdivision last season. A native of Loganville, Ga., Arnold was a two-sport star for the Red Devils, excelling in basketball and football.

  • Marlins games shut out of Bally Sports broadcasts on Xfinity cable
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Wednesday - 05/01/2024 - 06:40 PM

    Fans of the Miami Marlins and Tampa Bay Rays who watch their teams through Xfinity cable will have to find other options. A dispute between Diamond Sports Group, parent of Bally Sports, and Xfinity parent Comcast has resulted in the removal of all Bally Sports channels from Xfinity cable systems across the country. Among the blacked-out channels are Bally Sports Florida, which broadcasts Florida Marlins games, and Bally Sports Sun, home to the Tampa Bay Rays. The two channels also broadcast Miami Heat and Florida Panthers regular-season games.
