Universities struggle with how to regulate free speech and other rules
protests at American universities are escalating. In the early hours of April 30th more than 200 demonstrators at Columbia University barricaded Hamilton Hall, a building famously occupied by anti-war protesters in 1968. At the University of California, Los Angeles, scuffles erupted this week between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian students. Police have arrested students in recent days at Virginia Tech, the University of Florida, Tulane University and elsewhere.
The blame game is also intensifying. University leaders are again in the firing line, accused by some of having brought the chaos on themselves by coddling student trespassers and allowing antisemitic speech to go unpunished.
