We then tried to figure out if their friend had been taken to a precinct or a “discipline building” called “the box.” Zionist students in Baker’s piece report feeling “unsafe”—how many of them get arrested for peaceful protest?
Read this as the undergrad English class I teach was interrupted by one of my students saying, "One of my friends was arrested at a pro-Palestine protest on campus. We don't know where they are." That's what "this moment" "in higher ed" is actually like btw
My piece today in
@theatlantic
is the product of five months of work, dozens of hours of interviews, and a lot of personal anguish. It tells the story of a campus consumed in unique fashion by bigotry, of reasonable students enabling rancor. Take a read!
i cannot anymore, every social media troll loves to be like “lol TEEN Vogue” whenever I post my work, while no one is trolling the absolute weirdo behavior of national mainstream publications deciding campus-level conflicts are front-page news for ADULTS with JOBS

Just overheard a faculty member say, “It’s complicated, but the students should have been arrested to maintain overall operations on campus.” But crushing student protest is <part> of campus “operations”—not a deviation from it.
