While Columbia and UCLA have made the headlines recently, how come others - such as university of Chicago or Brown - have not?
If protests are peaceful, let them go.
If anyone is committing crimes, arrest them.
It's really that simple.
Free speech is not a crime.
Brown bought off the protestors, like Northwestern
Northwestern under fire — Jewish groups demand president's ouster, students file harassment suit
The backlash comes days after the university made an agreement with encampment organizers to take steps toward divesting from Israel.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/israel-hamas-war/2024/05/01/northwestern-under-fire-as-adl-midwest-calls-for-university-president-to-resign-3-students-file-suitDays after reaching an agreement with organizers of a pro-Palestinian encampment, Northwestern University is facing heavy backlash -- with three Jewish organizations calling for the school’s president to resign.
And three Jewish students have filed suit against NU over the encampment, alleging they have been harassed and subjected to hateful rhetoric.
Organizers had established the encampment to express support for Palestinian people and to call on the university to cut financial ties with Israel.
They described Monday’s agreement as a “meaningful first step to divestment.” It requires the university administration to disclose information about any investments to those associated with the school and re-establishes a committee to advise on investments, a panel that will include student representation. The university also agreed to take steps to better support Palestinian students on campus and allow protests to continue until June 1.

The University of Chicago and Dartmouth have been leaders in heading this off.
