Tale of two college campus ideals?

Northwestern and others are appeasing the antisemite rioters while other schools are having them arrested and expelling them.

Northwestern University has agreed to a controversial settlement with pro-Palestinian protesters encamped on its campus this week, including a commitment for scholarships for Palestinians, Palestinian faculty appointments, and special housing for Muslim students. The protesters will also be allowed to continue their protests while agreeing to stay in a particular area of campus.  It will also put the students and supporting faculty on bodies to review any university investments and purchases, a major demand from supporters of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Moreover, the agreement suggests that none of the students will be held accountable and they were provided with the unrealistic promise that their future job opportunities will not suffer for their protesting. Not sure how Northwestern can promise that, as employers are free to choose their own employees. However, the fear these antisemites have is justified. Many large employers are already stating they will not hire anyone associates with this.

Right now, there is a serious push for the Northwestern President to resign, and that momentum is growing. Not just from Jewish groups, but from a variety of places in including those who understand the law. By conceding so much to rioters, they actually may be in violation of various laws, and could lose funding. Clearly Title VII protects against employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. something that the USSC just recently upheld.

Certainly, donations are going to start drying up. Seven members of the school's commission on preventing intolerance and hate also resigned in protest. Students of the school have been meeting with congress members to see what sort of action can be taken at that level.

Meanwhile, we are seeing equally aggressive tactics in many other colleges to break up these riots with arrests, suspensions, and expulsions. Employers and future students will have to choose between schools that reward antisemitic hateful rioting and those who punish it. I doubt this is a hard decision for most.
