Universities must expel antisemites taking part in illegal protests

Supposed “elite” universities run by liberal bureaucrats have been far too soft on illegal, antisemitic protests and the students who take part in them. It is past time for expulsions to be on the table.

Barnard College, an affiliate of Columbia University, expelled two students over a January event in which students disrupted the first day of a History of Modern Israel class to hand out their antisemitic propaganda posters. It is a good first step and one that the university should stand by, given that Columbia hasn’t even had the guts to stand by suspensions for these kinds of protests. In response to the expulsions, dozens more masked antisemites stormed Barnard’s Milbank Hall, where the president’s office is.
