Northwestern’s enrollment is approx. 21k. The morons were convinced to pack up their tents in exchange for a completely token gesture. 5 scholarships is fractions of a percent of the total student body. Most students will graduate without ever running into these “bonus” Palestinians.


I wouldn't give them one scholarship. They are calling for the genocide of the Jews in Israel. If only Himmler were around, Northwestern could give him a job as a full professor and give scholarships to the SS.

I find it easier to filter out resumes from applicants who graduated from these schools.

They gave into extortion. This is a terrible precedent.

The management of these universities are weak and cowardly. They have no spine.

Northwestern will also provide a “house for MENA/Muslim students” and will “advise employers not to rescind job offers for students engaging in speech protected by the First Amendment.”


as if Northwestern has the power to prevent employers from rescinding job offers

A classic secondary or maybe even a tertiary boycott.

A primary boycott is one seeking a boycott of the entity with whom you have a dispute.

A secondary boycott is one seeking a boycott of an entity that is doing business with the entity with whom you have a dispute.

To the extent they are shutting down campuses and preventing students from attending, they are boycotting customers of the university which is doing business with the target entity.

Leftists worship protests, as long as they are the right protests.

Its literally a license to destroy all you want under the guise of justice.

Why, that's just another thing they aren't very good at. I thought LSU had a good baseball program.


He was saying Northwestern should recruit them… we only recruit the best of the best

Imagine the tent cities on these campuses when Trump gets re-elected. They'll dwarf what we're seeing now. Wonder what the demands will be then.

It was a Reagan appointee that ruled college campuses as public forums, thus protected by the first amendment.

In September 2004, U.S. District Court Judge Sam Cummings struck down the free-speech-zone policy at Texas Tech University.

quote:

According to the opinion of the court, campus areas such as parks, sidewalks, streets and other areas are designated as public forums, regardless of whether the university has chosen to officially designate the areas as such. The university may open more of the campus as public forums for its students, but it cannot designate fewer areas. Not all places within the boundaries of the campus are public forums, according to Cummings' opinion. The court declared the university's policy unconstitutional to the extent that it regulates the content of student speech in areas of the campus that are public forums.

Seems un-American to only approve of protests that you support.

It is a First Amendment right after all, even if they are annoying.

Most notable among those concessions is a promise to offer full-ride scholarships to Palestinian students and guaranteed faculty jobs for Palestinian academics.


quote:

The University will support visiting Palestinian faculty and students at risk (funding two faculty per year for two years; and providing full cost of attendance for five Palestinian undergraduates to attend Northwestern for the duration of their undergraduate careers)


Is that all it takes to buy off these protesters supposedly fighting against genocide? Who knew Palestinian lives were worth so little.
