Round-up: Campus Chaos Continues Over Israel-Hamas Conflict - May 14
Harvard University and student protesters have negotiated an end to the pro-Palestinian encampment in Harvard Yard, agreeing to discuss student questions about the endowment and to quickly process petitions for reinstatement of suspended students. The apparently peaceful outcome is one that has eluded many other campuses where officials have resorted to calling the police to clear demonstrators.
The pro-Palestinian protests on campuses across the country over the past six months has led to the creation of Mothers Against College Antisemitism or MACA, whose 60,000 members have filled administrators’ inboxes and voicemails with their concerns. They’ve advocated for documentary showings to be canceled, for divestment resolutions to be rejected, and for colleges to remove antiwar encampments that have popped up across the country, according to reporting from The Chronicle of Higher Education.
