We are deeply concerned about the case of a graduate student in the English department at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, who is under attack by the alt-right, both on and off campus. On campus she has been the target of threats and harassment by a UMass undergraduate, Louis Shenker, whose Internet presence, including the “MinutemanBroadcast,” identifies him as an extreme alt-right personality who uses incel language.
On November 12th at an event being held at a full-house crowd of 1600 people at the Fine Arts Center at UMass entitled “Criminalizing Dissent: The Attack on BDS and Pro-Palestinian Voices,” Shenker, in a premeditated plan, disrupted the event. He shouted racial slurs at the speakers, who included Linda Sarsour, Cornel West and Shaun King. Even before his outburst he had been verbally harassing the graduate student, who is his former teacher, saying he was “going to get her.” He proudly filmed his disruption so he would have video footage for his subsequent self-promoting publicity campaign.
Not surprisingly, within twenty-four hours he was invited onto Alex Jones’ Info Wars for a half-hour interview, reaching a massive audience of dangerous alt-right fanatics. The graduate student was the focus of his ire, and for weeks he has systematically and repeatedly spread her personal information, including her name, photo, and department, across alt-right networks.
On social media Shenker constantly refers to his target as his ex-teacher in the English department and as a terrorist/jihadist, while simultaneously posting that he will shoot Amherst terrorists. He uses various incendiary terms to set a white nationalist audience on this individual, and compel action from that audience. Responses online echo calls for violence. The targeting of the graduate student has spread even further with alt-right media celebrities such as Michelle Malkin and Laura Loomer amplifying the threats.
This is not a matter of protected free speech as Shenker has repeatedly threatened the graduate student, promising to bring “fire and fury, the likes of which the world has never seen” on his former teacher. As other students and teachers have seen these messages online, they are, not surprisingly, also concerned about their own safety on campus, and there is an atmosphere of fear in the department. Some prominent faculty have moved their classes off campus, and graduate students fear going to her department building.
Given the nature of Shenker’s widespread audience and ties to hate groups, and the ways in which those responding to him online suggest violence, the graduate student is increasingly concerned for her safety as his reputation spread across alt-right networks. When he was served with an anti-harassment order issued by the Northampton District Court, he immediately violated it by posting threats online and was subsequently arrested. The Northampton Police Department have expressed concern about the threat he poses. The graduate student has been placed on administrative leave from teaching for the rest of the semester for her own safety.
Meanwhile, the university has repeatedly disseminated misinformation about the status of the case and publicly dismissed the threats posed, compelling graduate students to return to work.
What Shenker does as a private citizen is one thing. What he does as a student at the University of Massachusetts is a matter for the university administration. For reasons that escape us, they have been strangely passive regarding his actions despite the fact that he has already violated the Student Code of Conduct by his disruption of the Fine Arts Center event, and has created an environment of fear on campus with his campaign of harassment against his former teacher. If the University is serious about its claims that “Hate has no home at UMASS” or that it is committed to “building a community of dignity and trust,” then it must move swiftly to take protective action to protect the campus from Shenker - including expulsion and a no-trespass order. Given the concerns that some law-enforcement personnel have about the threat he and the alt-right networks pose, anything less amounts to severe negligence regarding the safety of individual students/staff and the campus as a whole.
