"The Slack messages, attributed to Acker, also include lewd comments about a female U-M student and a picture of her with her friends."
"Acker is known to be a confrontational, pro-Israel leader at the large public university, having helped recruit the Michigan attorney general for unusual prosecutions against students."
"The race has become a local flashpoint in the broader battle over criticism of Israel on campuses, with pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian candidates competing for seats."
Jordan Acker, a University of Michigan regent, is under scrutiny for making obscene comments in a group chat about a Democratic strategist and a female student. These messages surfaced just before a contentious primary election for U-M board of regents seats, highlighting the ongoing conflict between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian candidates. Acker, known for his confrontational pro-Israel stance, previously led efforts against pro-Palestinian students and dismantled diversity initiatives under pressure. He faces a challenge from Amir Makled, a progressive attorney advocating for student rights and union relations.
