While Columbia University’s president testifies before Congress about alleged antisemitism on college campuses, professors Nara Milanich & Rebecca Jordan Young say the hearing is weaponizing anti-semitism to suppress free speech in an “intensifying attack on liberal education.”

@NaraMilanich Listen and learn Columbia ⬇️

@NaraMilanich That’s a mouth full.

@NaraMilanich A masterful exploration of the challenges facing academic #freedom and liberal education in the #USA today.

@laleh_joon @NaraMilanich Shafik has to go. It is as simple as that, and the sooner the better! She has shamelessly damaged the principles of academic freedoms, scholarly independent thought, and the reputation of one of the world’s greatest universities.

@NaraMilanich 35 student visas already cancelled. Deportation orders issue by end of day.

@NaraMilanich They know. We know. I don’t know why we can’t say in and move the he11 onto the real issues.

@jricole @NaraMilanich The meaning of liberal should be clear from this episode, @ZaidJilani. It's an atmosphere that promotes free thinking and discourse without fear of reprisal.

@NaraMilanich @TrackAIPAC

@NaraMilanich Yeah, it must really limit the antisemitism action in your lives… 🖕
