Suddenly, the radicalized zealots found a cause and group that they could graft their hate onto. Somehow Jews fit neatly into DEIs oppression matrix, thereby justifying anti Semitism. Each of you should be ashamed of your decisions that allowed anti semitic encampments to endanger Jewish students. Mr. Schill and doctor Holloway, you should be doubly ashamed for capitulating to the anti semitic course. Our job today is first and foremost to hold those who are supposed to be in charge to account. No one should be threatened, arrested or attacked because of who they are or who they worship. Moreover, students cannot learn if they feel unsafe. Yet here we are for the fifth time and six months holding another hearing to complain about the problem of anti Semitism, but no work is being done to find a meaningful solution to address animus on college campuses. Complaining about a problem is not a solution. We had to get the encampment down. We needed to the police solution was not number one. Not going to be available to us to keep people safe, but also may not be the wise solution, as we've seen at some other universities around the country. So we found, and we were fortunate to have students who were willing to negotiate and were willing to give up Their demands that they came into us for. Their number one demand was dvestment. We said no. We said, absolutely not. We said nothing that singles out Israel. We made a choice. That choice was to engage our students through dialogue as a first option instead of police action. We had seen what transpired at other universities and sought a different way. Tragically, it took several hours before law enforcement could quell the violence. On May 1, with the support of the University of California's President Michael Drake, we provided protesters a final opportunity to leave. But when more than 200 protesters refused police orders, law enforcement removed the encampment that night. With the benefit of Hindsight, we should have been prepared to immediately remove the encampment, if and when the safety of our community was put at risk. I'm asking, is it a fact that you earned an F, and they called for your resignation. I have great respect for the ADL. I am sad that they gave Northwestern. But it's true. You got an F. Yes. Moving on, isn't it true that you asked the HL director, whether it was possible to hire an anti ionist head of Hillel. Rabbi? I did not. I absolutely did not. I would never hire anyone based upon their views of being ionist or anti ionist. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Leaders of Northwestern, UCLA, and Rutgers Testify Before Congress on Campus Protests","description":"House Republicans have summoned the leaders of Northwestern University and Rutgers University to testify about concessions they gave to pro-Palestinian protesters to end demonstrations on their campus.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/TkAAhlaz/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2024-05-23T20:36:03.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/TkAAhlaz.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/TkAAhlaz/","duration":"PT3M7S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/TkAAhlaz/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
