Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has acknowledged that it did not suspend students participating in unauthorized anti-Israel protests due to concerns that they could face deportation as they are not U.S. citizens. The decision was made to protect students who violated the terms of their visas. This has sparked criticism and accusations of protecting anti-Semitic behavior on campus. MIT reversed its decision to expel students who support Hamas and attack Jewish students and faculty, allowing them to continue their actions out of a sense of compassion. The university has faced backlash for its handling of the situation, with some referring to the campus as a war zone for Jewish students.
