Status Updates From We Demand: The University a...

interesting conversation on how corporations became "minorities" and asserted their rights and interests over those of actual people. But once again, the author mentions something related to civil rights (here, US universities promoting eugenics in the early 20th century) and erases its connection to antisemitism. Ivy Leagues promoting eugenics imposed quotas to reduce the amount of Jewish faculty and students.

Universities are swift to act against Palestinians who say something antisemitic, or to say they're antisemitic for criticizing actions of the Israeli govt, while they do not discipline white professors and students who ARE openly antisemitic. Who does the university protect, and who do they refuse to protect?

I'm suspicious of the uncritical presentation of antisemitic myths (here, presented as good, progressive examples of student protest) combined with the insistence on saying civil rights increased "after WWII" instead of saying "in response to the Holocaust." It's a subtle but SIGNIFICANT word choice.
