Barnard College has now suspended and evicted over 1% of its total student body for nonviolent protest. These institutions are eating themselves alive, destroying their own legitimacy by targeting their best and brightest. Shame on you Laura Rosenbury.

This is horrible...

The University of Köln is cancelling Nancy Fraser, for signing a letter from philosophers supporting Palestinians. Still astonishing that, after everything, German institutions feel able to tell Jews how to be Jewish, in the name of anti-semiticism. portal.uni-koeln.de/fr/universitae…
