Multicultural organizations at the University called for Ben Gerstein, president of Central Student Government and Public Policy junior, to apologize for remarks he made in a video and article about Palestine while in high school.
After a social media statement made by Students Allied for Freedom and Equality demanding public apologies from both Gerstein and CSG, Gerstein issued a statement on his personal Facebook page Wednesday afternoon apologizing for any harm caused and saying he no longer holds the views conveyed in the video.
