Northwestern University is facing significant backlash and legal challenges following its controversial agreement with pro-Palestinian protesters. The deal, criticized for its concessions, led to the resignation of seven members from the university's antisemitism committee, who protested the administration's lack of consultation. Legal concerns have also been raised about the agreement potentially violating the Civil Rights Act by offering scholarships and faculty positions specifically for Palestinians. Calls for the resignation of Northwestern's President, Michael Schill, have intensified amidst these controversies.
