Oct. 7 on campus
The vicious terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel a year ago upended the status quo on college campuses in the United States as much as it changed international relationships. Knock-on effects in the partnerships between Israel and the U.S. or how the Israel Defense Forces carry out operations in Gaza and Lebanon have a larger impact on the world than kaffiyeh-clad protesters on Ivy League campuses. But those college students are making life difficult for university administrators, students, and policymakers.
As jarring as the response to Hamas’s surprise attack that left 1,200 Israelis dead and more than 200 people, including some Americans, captured as hostages has been, the largest ripple effect in the U.S. might be how students and university administrators responded.
