- The university issued a statement affirming commitment to safety and academic freedom, while Rutgers teachers union and faculty groups condemned the petition as an affront to academic freedom.
- Facing threats and doxxing, Mark Bray said, `Since my family and I do not feel safe in our home at the moment, we are moving to Europe`; he, his wife, and their two young children will stay in Spain for the academic year.
