In the wake of the University’s announcement of In the wake of the University’s announcement of Zahm House’s disbandment, The Observer began an investigation into the dorm’s so-called “troubling culture.” 

The investigation revealed several incidents contributing to the administration’s decision, including Zahm residents’ disregard for and plans to alter COVID-19 tests as well as vandalism within and beyond the walls of the hall.

The Observer also obtained a series of email chains sent between roughly 200 Zahm residents from 2019-2020, in which students shared graphic and misogynistic jokes regarding sex and sexual assault.

After a week filled with virtual panels and a Yom After a week filled with virtual panels and a Yom Hashoah Holocaust Remembrance prayer service, today marks the final day of Antisemitism Awareness Week.

In light of the recent increase in antisemitism, the Jewish Club at Notre Dame organized this event to both engage and educate the community about combatting this type of hatred.

On Wednesday, Notre Dame’s student senate unanimously voted to pass Resolution SS 2021-37, which calls upon the University to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism — one that has been embraced by nations, international organizations and universities across the world.

“One of the purposes of the working definition is that it’s hard to combat something if you can’t name it, or understand what it is and define it,” said Jewish Club president junior Bella Niforatos about the importance of adopting IHRA’s definition.

After Tuesday’s incident — where a group of non-ND affiliated people zoom-bombed one of the presentations — Jewish Club secretary sophomore Blake Ziegler said the club received an outpour of support from different members of the community. To create a more inclusive space, he said Notre Dame should actively embrace its Jewish members.

“The best way the Notre Dame community can show solidarity with the Jewish community is honestly just engagement, education, learning more about Judaism, engaging your Jewish friends and family, being open to listening to them and their concerns and addressing them,” he said.

After this week, Niforatos said there is one thing the Notre Dame community should remember: “If you have a voice, then you should use it.”
