Nearly Half of Protesters Are Not Students or Faculty – HotAir

For some time now we’ve been hearing rumors that the increasingly violent pro-Hamas protests on American university campuses were not really “homegrown” activities at all, but were being incited by outside groups of paid, professional agitators. Now, following some investigation into police reports released by officials, we appear to have confirmation. Quite a few of […]

NYPD Clears Encampments at NYU and the New School – HotAir

Two more pro-Palestinian encampments were cleared out this morning at NYU and the New School. Police used a special tactic on the protesters. They showed up early.

University of Florida “Is Not a Day Care”

A question that has been asked since the antisemitic, anti-Israel, and anti-America protests began on college campuses across the country is where are the grown-ups?

Harvard Center Hosting Pro-Hamas Author – PJ Media

Oh, alma mater, your jihadi-covered halls… A Harvard Center will soon be hosting a pro-Hamas author at an antisemitic, woke event on campus. The Harvard University Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) is hosting an April 18 event “Gaza as Epicenter: An Alternative Reading.” Translation: we hate Jews. Tareq Baconi, president of the board […]

How Colleges Are Getting Around State Bans – HotAir

Earlier this month I wrote about the University of Texas which was laying off around 60 employees in order to belatedly comply with a state law prohibiting DEI. I say belatedly because the law in question took effect at the beginning of the year but it seems UT’s first reaction wasn’t to get rid of […]
