Edit request[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hello. I am a consultant working with United Talent Agency. I am hoping an editor can update Jay Sures’ page to include his recent action as a UC regent condemning the UC Ethnic Studies Faculty Council's request that the University of California retract its statement condemning the October 7 attack as “an act of terrorism.” I have provided suggested language and secondary sources below.

In October 2023, Sures in his role as a UC regent, publicly rebuked the UC Ethnic Studies Faculty Council request that UC leaders retract their statement declaring the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel “an act of terrorism…that deserves and requires our collective condemnation.” Sures expressed concern these faculty members were perpetuating hate and discrimination rather than advocating for “constructive paths to improve the situation for Israelis and Palestinians.” Weeks later the UC Regents committed $7 million to emergency mental health services, programs focused on better understanding antisemitism and Islamophobia, and training for faculty and staff on how to navigate their roles as educators.

  I believe this letter merits inclusion on Wikipedia because it received notable media coverage, reflects challenges facing universities across the country in addressing tensions relating to the Israel-Hamas war, and led to concrete, university-wide actions.

As part of my consultancy, I work with United Talent Agency. I am hoping an editor will be willing to add Jay Sures’ official image to his Wikipedia page. The image can be found in Wikimedia Commons.

In accordance with Wikipedia COI editor guidelines, I will not make this change myself. EWChristine (talk) 21:01, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: It is not clear where you want the image placed in the article. Please specify where in the article you want the image to be placed. Shadow311 (talk) 16:51, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shadow311: Hi, I am hoping you are still willing to post the image. I'd like it placed in the infobox.EWChristine (talk) 18:01, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
