Jeffrey Runner | Vice Provost and University Dean for Undergraduate Education | Abuse of Power, Racism | "Vice Provost and University Dean for Undergraduate Education Jeffrey Runner compared saying the word 'genocide' about the situation in Gaza to 'waving the confederate flag in front of a black person's face.'

Kyle Orton | Assistant Dean of Students and University Judicial Officer | Censorship, Intimidation | "Conflict management officer Kyle Orton's negligence led to the death of a University of Rochester student. He enforces the suppression and abuse of students who speak up against the ongoing genocide that has murdered at least 20,000 children, destroyed every university in Gaza, and currently puts the lives of over 2,000,000 more at risk." | |

She voted no to academic divestment in occupied Palestine. She is a liberal posturing, bourgeois feminist who makes over $1 million annually while raising the tuition of students.
