MASSACHUSETTS – After months of student protests related to the Gaza Strip war in 2023 and 2024, some prominent schools in the US, such as Harvard University and Columbia University, appointed select committees to interview students and write painful public reports about bias on campus.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where some Jewish people on campus said protests had created a hostile environment, did not publish a lengthy committee report on anti-Semitism.
