The Daily Medium, a student-funded newspaper which dubs itself the “Entertainment Weekly of Rutgers University,” faked an article yesterday writing as YAF activist Aaron Marcus, who is Jewish. The article used his name and picture--obviously without Marcus’ permission--and defended Hitler and the Third Reich.

In a sick attempt to be funny, here are some of the lines the paper wrote (faking to be Marcus):

“What about the good things Hitler did?”

“I couldn’t help but think that history has given the Third Reich and its leaders a bad rap.”

“More importantly, the surviving member of the Jewish faith were inspired by these ‘atrocities’ to move to Palestine… and which I think would not have happened without the help of ol’ Adolf.”

"So the next time you are driving in a car, watching the movie ‘Armageggon’ or walking past Hillel, be sure to give Hitler a little thanks. I know I will."

This type of anti-Semitism is shocking and should be denounced by the school.

Rutgers University has already been under a federal investigation for anti-Semitism against Marcus and other Jews on campus. Young America’s Foundation and The Blaze reported last year on the violent threats made by students and faculty against Marcus’ life.

Marcus is a courageous defender of Israel and conservatism on campus—an unpopular duo. His real newspaper column in the Daily Targum (Rutgers’ more legitimate paper), titled “Marcus my Words,” courageously promotes freedom. Yet, this is the kind of filth he gets in return.

Here’s YAF’s interview with Marcus last year about the death threats he received:

Rutgers just made Marcus a rich man. lawsuit will force the liberal hacks at this rubbish institution of antisemitism to eat their words. we are all Jewish now.

Rutgers had nothing to do with this. Rutgers does not have an official censor which this goes past. Grow up. There will be no lawsuit and Aaron Marcus will relish his latest 15 minutes in the spotlight.

to the editor After countless, phone calls, messages, emails, and letters, to deans, heads of departments, and the president of Rutgers himself, many concerned students and myself remain left in the dark and our questions unanswered. Our beloved Professor Dr. Rosenberg, has been a victim of the anti-semetic environment that has been created and allowed to grow at Rutgers University. Dr. Rosenberg has been facing many instances of harassment by department heads, deans, and leaders for no reason. He has made many formal complaints and reports to numerous departments over a span of many weeks, and the only response he and us students receive are very rude responses that simply say "thanks" and that this is a personnel matter. This is not the way that a prestigious university, the state university of New Jersey should be handling the serious concerns that its staff and students have regarding harassment, more specifically, anti-semitism. It was not until one of the Rutgers university daily newspapers, The Medium, published an article entitled "What About the Good Things Hitler Did?" In this article, the Medium praised Hitler and said he wasn't such a bad guy, The medium used an active Jewish students name, and picture as the author of the article, when he in fact had no relation to the article. This is one instance that was made known due to the severity and availability of the evidence since it was published in a newspaper allowed by Rutgers to be circulated throughout campus. Unfortunately for Dr. Rosenberg, the anti-semtism he faces from the department is not published in newspapers, and therefore is not as easily seen by others. however this does not mean that this serious issue can be ignored. Dr. Rosenberg is one of the only professor here at Rutgers that willingly and proudly wears a "skullcap" every day, clearly revealing his Jewish religion. Also a clergyman, he often speaks publicly about his religious views as well as others. He respects all religions and simply wished that people would do the same for his. Now Dr. Rosenberg has lost his opportunity to teach his public speaking course which he does every summer for over 10 years. He is not getting a response as to whether or not he will be teaching in the fall, and the harassment continues. The fact of the matter is that Rutgers University has created an anti-semitic atmosphere and has let it thrive to the point where students feel comfortable publishing anti-semetic articles in a well known school newspaper. Rutgers University allows this paper to circulate throughout campus just like they allow their main newspaper "The Daily Targum" which refuses to address this issue after numerous requests. Overall, something must be done about the anti-semitic injustices Dr. Rosenberg has and still is facing here at Rutgers University. As we are in the midst of concluding the Spring Semester, we the students of Doctor Rosenberg want you to know that this has been on of the most enjoyable non pressure, insightful, and exciting courses we have ever taken at Rutgers. Unlike other teachers, through his dynamic teaching abilities and intuitive nature, he instills within his students the desire to constantly improve. He does this not through pressure, numerous papers, constant criticism, but through a magic that he possesses to convey his belief in his students abilities to perform. In short he makes public speaking fun. While we have followed the syllabus he has done so with great humor, intelligence, creativity, and sensitivity. We have heard from other students how unhappy they are in other public speaking classes. How even though they deserve an A, the grades have been severely lessened because of their written work on first drafts. Dr. Rosenberg has made this a true public speaking class. He has corrected out outlines and given us tests but from both we have learned much without stress and pressure. It is beyond our understanding why our teacher should be harassed when he in fact deserves the teacher of the year award at Rutgers.

One of the free products and sevcires that are delivered by most public and non-public colleges is coach course. These classes allow students to get additional support from their instructor in a school atmosphere. College students can consult issues about class get the job done things to do and homework assignments. These lessons are typically held the moment a week and enable to display an educator that a pupil is executing everything he can to get the best grade possible. Going to coach course can mean the distinction involving passing a program and failing a person.

Regarding the article "Rutgers steps up efforts to go global, attract foreign students " Rutgers has become nothing more than big business. New Jersey residents are not being admitted to Rutgers because the students cannot compete with the grades and SAT scores of the foreign students. Out of state and foreign students pay substantially more tuition than in state students. I taught at Rutgers from 1990 until June of 2012. Even though the Communication dept denies it, I was told to give 20% A's and 20% C's and D's to my students. From my experience the foreign students who took accelerated courses in their native countries did better at Rutgers than NJ Students including some athletes. Obviously the higher grades would have gone to the foreign students in most cases. I refused to comply. I am no longer teaching at Rutgers. Need I say more. Rabbi Dr. Bernhard Rosenberg

As many of you are aware my difficulties with Rutgers began within the last two years when I was told at a meeting that there is a guideline for grade distribution in the Speech and Communication dept: 20%A's , 20% ,D,F, and the rest B's and C's. This was denied by the department even though I heard it twice. I felt a student deserved the grade they earned, not what they told me to give and I refused to follow the grade guideline. Today one of my former Rutgers students provided me with a grade distribution guideline for the Dept of Accounting and Informatino systems at Rutgers. I have the syllabus: A 12.5%, B+ 10%, B20%,C+15%,C 27.5%, D 10%, F 5%. This grade distribution concept hold through Rutgers with variation. . It is worth investigating. I have been telling the truth.
