Antisemitism at UC Davis

Seeta Chaganti

A professor’s role is to educate and foster an environment of respect and intellectual freedom. Chaganti has instead chosen to promote divisive rhetoric and abandon her duty to her students.

Chaganti has faced no reported consequences as a result of her hateful speech and maintains her position at UC Davis.
