More than a dozen Jewish organizations demand ‘immediate removal’ of Northwestern president

Published May 31, 2024 2:13pm ET



More than a dozen Jewish organizations demanded the “immediate removal” of Northwestern University President Michael Schill and Board of Trustees Chairman Peter Barris on Thursday, one week after Schill testified before Congress on Northwestern’s handling of antisemitic conduct.

The demand comes in response to Northwestern’s April 29 agreement with anti-Israel encampment members, which made several concessions to the protesters and sparked outrage on both sides of the political aisle. Schill was grilled about what is often referred to as the “Deering Meadow agreement” in his May 23 testimony.
