[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jewish family here with a kid at NU. My kid never felt threatened or uncomfortable. Most of the things that would have happened normally on campus happened even with the encampment going on (Nothing that my kid was involved with got cancelled or postponed.) We felt that the admin did a good job of walking a line and not escalating.

Thanks for the insight.

My kid committed to Northwestern.   Then this ridiculous appeasement concession happened.

[b]We are really hoping that the wealthy alumni exert a lot pressure on the school to throw it out.[/b]

We spoke to some Jewish students from the school before committing a few weeks back at the start of this mess.  At the time, they said they felt safe and supported by the school.and community.  Do you have any insight on how things are now for the students?

What does it say that you are hoping that billionaires weigh? What does it say that you want money to decide this? It says you prefer a ruling financial elite to democracy, when push it comes to an issue close to you. Maybe all issues. [/quote]

What does it say when Northwestern has a campus in Qatar?  The same place that leaders of Hamas live in 5 star luxury. [/quote]

I suspect that all kinds of people live in luxury in Qatar, as they do in the US, including Chicago. So are you fine with billionaires deciding a school’s policy on student protestors as long as it’s billionaires that agree with you? Which regimes does this put you in line with? Where do you stand on democracy on other issues?[/quote]

You missed the point.   Billionaires (Royal family) in Qatar, who allow heads of a terrorist organization to live there, might be dictating terms to NU since they have a campus in Doha. It works both ways.

The funny thing is, Qatar has given many hundreds of millions of dollars to both Northwestern and Georgetown.  [/quote]
