(New Brunswick, NJ) -- A Rutgers University chancellor and provost are apologizing after speaking out against an increase in anti-Semitism.
Rutgers University-New Brunswick provost Francine Conway and Chancellor Christopher Molloy sent an email to the student body condemning the recent rise in anti-Semitism attacks in America as the conflict between Israel and Hamas raged on.
One day later, they apologized, saying "it is clear to us that the message failed to communicate support for our Palestinian community members."
Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas blasted the apology, tweeting "how can someone this weak lead a university?"
