CU community discusses free speech and antisemitism in the wake of ‘doxxing’ campaign
Last week, the University of Colorado Boulder became the latest target in a series of “doxxing campaigns” sponsored by a conservative non-profit based in Washington, D.C. The organization, Accuracy In Media, sent a “doxxing truck” to the CU Boulder’s campus on Jan. 30 with a singular intention in mind.
According to the AIM’s President, Adam Guillette, the organization targeted CU Boulder in response to the ethnic studies department’s Oct. 22 statement supporting a “free Palestine,” which was met with backlash and later removed from the department’s website.
“On most campuses, we target the students,” Guillette said. “But at CU Boulder, we’re currently targeting that faculty, that department.”
AIM sponsored a fleet of trucks that visited college campuses across the nation on Jan. 30 and 31, displaying images and names of students and faculty the organization deemed antisemitic. One target of the campaign was CU Boulder, where names and images of faculty from the university’s ethnic studies department were displayed under the words “Boulder’s Leading Antisemites.”
