Hughes Hall student Shlomo Roitner-Jesner — one of three kippah-wearing students verbally and physically assaulted by members of a Christ’s College drinking society —  told The Algemeiner he found it “positively shocking” that the head of Christ’s College, Professor Jane Stapleton, “categorically rejected the antisemitic nature” of the incident in a recent email she sent out to the campus community.
