Harvard University has announced a concrete plan to combat antisemitism after facing criticism for not responding more forcefully to incidents on campus amid the Israel-Hamas war. The move comes after students and alumni, including Bill Ackman, criticized the university. Other top universities, including Columbia and MIT, are also taking action against pro-Palestinian protests deemed to be against school rules or hostile to Jewish students. The issue has sparked intense backlash, with alumni from top universities expressing dissatisfaction with the response to the Oct. 7 attacks and the protection of Jewish students as on-campus tensions rise.
