Summary: On September 26, 2002, An email
was been sent with a threat against Jews allegedly from the Arab students at
Florida Atlantic University in which the Arab students made Nazi like claims
and calls against Jews. At first, FAU denied the letter even came from their
university. A Boycott Watch letter regarding this matter was responded to
acknowledging the letter did emanate from a publicly used computer FAU. No
further letters were found.
The Arabs on campus have disavowed the
letter. The University is conducted an investigation into the matter and sent
us the following letter: |

| November 14, 2002 |

The FAU Police Department has
determined that the offensive letter was sent from a computer that is available
for public use, so it was not possible to identify the person or persons who
wrote it. However, there has been no repeat occurrence and relations have
remained excellent between FAU's Jewish and Arab students. We continue to
believe that this was the work of a single individual who wanted to cause
trouble where none actually existed.
With best regards,
