Babson College Apologizes for Decades-Old Anti-Semitic Slurs

It's been 35 years since Babson College students yelled anti-Semitic comments at Brandeis University students during a soccer game, but on Wednesday Babson President Leonard A. Schlesinger apologized.
“While I am confident that the institutional response to these hateful incidents would be vastly different today, I have been greatly disturbed to learn about these anti-Semitic activities and the handling of them by the College,” Schlesinger said. “Although it is some 35 years later, as President of this institution, I believe I have a fundamental responsibility to respond to what I have learned, including extending my most sincere public apology to members of the Babson and Brandeis communities for the unconscionable behaviors they experienced.”
The apology came after Schlesinger learned about the incidents while preparing to team up with the Anti-Defamation League of New England to bring the Campus of Difference program to the school.
