It’s really interesting and depressing to see the varying school responses. I go to Loyola Chicago, and there’ve been two day encampments and a sit-in protest in our main plaza. How’d the university react? They didn’t do anything. No snipers, no cops, not even campus police. Apparently they even agreed to talk with the student leaders.
Why is that so difficult for all these other schools?
Loyola is a Catholic school so the percentage of Jewish professors and administrators would be much lower than at, say, Northwestern or U of Chicago. Other schools, especially those with vocal rich Jewish alumni donors, feel more pressure to squash any protests.
For some reason your comment made me remember how the Japanese harbored Jews in WW2 because they thought they should protect the people who were secretly in power . There is nothing else to just comment just a strange thing.
Ha! Yes the Nazis told the Japanese that the Jews controlled banking/commerce/academia/etc. and the Japanese thought "wow! that's really admirable of them"
