Universities backed themselves into a corner. They've stifled students and professors for years for the slightest things. Not only stifled them, but forced them to actively take positions. Many schools require active "anti-racist" or "anti-colonial" activism more or less, or at least their faculty agreeing to promoting those ideas as part of their mission statements. You will be under investigation for taking innocuous and sometimes factually correct positions if they run counter to the psycho orthodoxy they've adopted. Now, they choose to defend free expression when it comes to antisemitism. Can't have it both ways. They've backed themselves into a corner. It's a shame it took an atrocity like this to lead to these universities being exposed for what they are, but I'm glad it's finally happening.
My guess on what happens next? They will cower(because they're cowards) and they will either fire their presidents or DEI chiefs or whatever, replace them with new people, make promises to "be better and promote inclusion including Jewish people and respecting Jewish people on campus) and then they won't actually do anything, they will wait for it to quiet down, and they will go back to business as usual. Why? Because they're beyond broken and ideologically captured. As long as those up top have fully bought into the faux progressive worldview, it will trickle down and the new people they bring in to run things will just promote the same ideals. Everything starts at the top. And even if eventually they have someone at the top who opposes this stuff, you can guarantee their student body will subscribe to this toxicity, and they will bully everyone into compliance eventually with demand letters and threats.
