Yitzy Frankel Real Clear Education, Sept. 6, 2024 “UCLA leadership—those entrusted to ensure the safety of students—told campus police to stand down, ceding control over public university property to antisemitic militants.

Asaf Romirowsky The Hill, Aug. 30, 2024 “Plainly put, Columbia did nothing to stop the riots in the first place. And once the rioters had been arrested and charged, it was quick to let them off with a just slap on the wrist.” It’s late August. For those of us in higher education, this means […]
