The Journal of Architectural Education (JAE) planned to center its fall 2025 issue on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, specifically focusing on Israeli 'settler-colonial apartheid and genocide.' However, the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA), the journal's publisher, canceled the issue due to concerns over federal and state funding. The decision sparked pushback, with the journal's entire board resigning in response. The cancellation reflects the rise of anti-Semitic activism in higher education and the impact of state and federal regulations on academic decision making. Architects United Against Antisemitism, a coalition of industry professionals, called for better judgment and trust restoration in the future.
