    ​“An academic boycott goes against the spirit of the University of California, which has consistently championed open discourse and encouraged collaboration with scholars and peers from international institutions of higher education”.

    The letter is signed by Janet Napolitano, President of UC and by the heads of all 10 universities within the UC system.  It highlights the disproportional and counterproductive impact a boycott resolution might have on anthropology, the AAA and academic life in general. The signature on this letter of Professor Nicholas Dirks, Chancellor of UC Berkeley and an important voice on Post-Colonialism, is particularly significant.
