This nagging feeling that this was all an orchestrated gotcha moment, and that the universities would probably figure this out without Congress getting involved.
Yes, there seems to be inconsistencies. I assume that if some group tried to bring in a speaker to talk about killing all Jews, the universities would block that. The inconsistency seem to be rooted in how protesters or social media posts are being treated, especially in relation to how other types of hate speech have been treated in the past. As I’ve said, before, anyone posting, chanting, or otherwise saying in public death to all Jews should be punished by a school, or if that person, said death to all Muslims or death to all Catholics. But is a river to the sea chant handled the same way ? And, of course, protesting the mounting death toll on the Gaza strip is not necessarily anti-Semitic, so it gets blurry very quickly.

As an old fart, I keep finding parallels with the protest of the Vietnam war. Some protesters were not just anti-war, but anti-American in the rhetoric. Many university presidents were under pressure to punish such protesters and to take control of their schools. Donors threatened to pull funds. The circumstances are of course different, but I’m not sure we’ve seen emotions inflamed on campuses this much since the Vietnam war
