Context
Before the quotation
Sures spoke at the August 30 summit, where Yousef subsequently made anti-Muslim remarks.

The original social statement was not retrieved; the quotation is as reported. September 7 is the reported statement date; exact time unknown and 12:00 UTC is a date-only placeholder. The council is not UC administration, and silence is not an explicit refusal.
Sources
Secondary reporting of a council statement reportedly issued Monday, September 7, and a separate email from Christine Hong. The council is a faculty organization, not UC administration. Hong's email time is unknown; September 10 is a publication-date proxy and 12:00 UTC on the position is a storage placeholder. Nonresponse by the UC president's office is not an explicit refusal by Sures.
