Christine Hong
Role at the time: UC Santa Cruz professor and UC Ethnic Studies Council member, quoted email
September 10, 2026Condemned
Responding to
Mosab Hassan Yousef’s call for Muslims to leave the United States at the Jewish American Summit
"his strategic silence, which amounts to sanctioning violence"
Why we used this label
The email directly criticizes Sures; the allegation remains attributed to Hong rather than adopted as a finding.
UC Ethnic Studies Council seeks Jay Sures's resignation after Jewish American Summit (opens in a new tab)

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.
