Northwestern University President Michael Schill revealed just how complacent he is about antisemitic behavior from his school’s faculty during a recent congressional hearing.
Republican members of Congress pointed out how Schill has permitted antisemitic faculty members to lock arms and “block police officers from doing their job” in arresting pro-Palestine agitators on Northwestern’s campus, as Congressman Jim Banks(R- Indiana) explained. Those same faculty members then continued to work and teach at Northwestern without being suspended or fired, despite having protected students engaged in harassment and even criminal behavior.
During one particularly heated exchange with Republican Rep. Burgess Owens, Schill refused to say whether he'd negotiate with KKK members harassing Black students the same way he's negotiated with anti-Jew protesters.

Videos show Northwestern faculty members personally participating in the anti-Israel encampments that left Jewish students feeling uncomfortable and unsafe. According to reports, some professors even coerced and pressured students to participate in these encampments and linked students’ grades to their involvement. This understandably left many students, particularly Jewish ones, saying they felt unsafe attending class.

Although unable to successfully defend his university against these allegations, Schill’s feeble attempt at doing so only reflected the lack of measures taken by Northwestern and other universities.
