[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll summarize. A handful of far-left faculty wrote a letter bemoaning the fact that student pro-Palestinian activists who have defaced buildings and disrupted campus operations are being held accountable for their actions.

The writer is saying this is because Swat doesn’t believe in free speech. It’s just more Hamas supporting propaganda. Best to ignore. Swat is navigating a difficult situation with generally good judgement. My kid is there and we read the memos and support the administration. [/quote]

My DD graduated last month, and she supports her classmates even if she disagrees with some of their choices regarding the ways in which they express their opinions. She feels that the administration has overreacted, and it seems many of the faculty members agree. There were protests at the graduation ceremony, but no one seemed particularly fazed about them.[/quote]

Interesting, how does she feel the administration overreacted? There would be great to get the thoughts of a recent student.[/quote]
