HOSTED THREE FORMER ISRAELI
DEFENSE SOLDIERS ON CAMPUS.
THE EVENT DREW OVER 100
PEOPLE— AND WAS OPEN TO THE
PUBLIC—BUT DID NOT ALLOW ANY
VIDEO OR AUDIO RECORDING.

BECAUSE SOLDIERS WANTED TO
TALK TO STUDENTS ABOUT THE RISE
OF ANTI-SEMITISM ON CAMPUS.

that people will say blatantly anti semitic
and genocidal chants like globalize
intifada”

ORANGE COUNTY POLICE HAVE
SINCE ARRESTED THE INDIVIDUAL.
DIFFERENT CAMPUSES HAVE
VARYING POLICIES REGARDING
PROTESTS– BUT AS TENSIONS RISE
AND CAMPUSES FACE PROTESTS
AND POLICY DIFFERENCES
STUDENTS AND ADMINISTRATORS
PRIORITIZE OPEN DISCUSSION.
((SOT))
“We value free expression, we want to
give students ample opportunity to
express their views on challenging topics
but we want them to do it in a way that is
not disruptive to other students so the
university operations and we have tried to
give them as much room short of that as
we can”
