This week, we saw that the ground has begun to shift. It feels like the public is done with this.

• NYPD Raids Anti-Israel Encampment at Brooklyn College in Chaotic Scene

Some schools still don’t get what’s happening.

• U. Chicago Prof Cancels Midterm, Tells Students to Join Anti-Trump Protest Instead
• Iowa State U. Lecture Includes Message That Capitalism Fuels Racism

Harvard seems clueless.

• “Americans are looking at these campuses, like Harvard, and saying, why are we paying for this?”
• Bill Ackman Sides With Trump in Battle With Harvard, Calls for New Leadership
• “Harvard Should No Longer Seek GRANTS From The Federal Government, Since None Will Be Provided”

Getting results!

Of course…

Good for him.

• Rutgers Professor Resigns From AAUP Over Radical Anti-Israel Activism

This has been obvious from the start.

More accountability is coming.
