“GSA remains dedicated to supporting federal acquisition standards and ensuring that government contracts reflect the values of our country, including the struggle against anti -Semitism (SIC),” said the Commissioner of the Federal Action Service and a member of the Josh Gruenbaum Working Group. “We will work with this partnership throughout the Government to end the culture of anti-Semitism (SIC) in our high institutions-by doing all the institutions to notice that this will not be tolerated according to the executive order of President Trump.”
