Top US Universities Unite to Combat Antisemitism on Campus Amidst Backlash and Donor Threats
Harvard, Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania are taking action to address concerns about antisemitism on their campuses. The universities have suspended pro-Palestinian student groups, condemned divisive slogans, and formed task forces to combat antisemitism. However, these actions have not appeased all critics, including some donors. Pro-Palestinian student activists argue that they are advocating for marginalized people in Gaza and are facing harassment themselves. The universities' decisions have sparked debate over free speech and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
