Trump Order Pushes Universities to ‘Monitor’ Protesters on Student Visas

The issue of antisemitism on college campuses has been a growing concern, with universities taking various measures to address the spread of pro-Palestinian demonstrations and anti-Israel speech. In response to these protests, universities have set up task forces, tightened discipline policies, and even used surveillance cameras to track protesters’ movements. Private investigators have been hired to examine cases of anti-Israel activism.

President Trump recently signed an order to push universities to do more to combat antisemitism on their campuses. The order directed agencies to guide colleges in reporting activities that could be considered antisemitic or supportive of terrorism, with the goal of holding perpetrators of unlawful harassment and violence accountable.

While many pro-Palestinian demonstrations have been nonviolent, some have led to vandalism and clashes between pro- and anti-Israel groups. Jewish students have reported feeling unsafe and threatened by the chanting of slogans that they perceive as antisemitic. University administrators have been called to testify before congressional committees about their responses to the unrest, leading many to take action to quell protest activity.

At Columbia University, masked protesters interrupted a class on modern Israel, leading to quick disciplinary action against the students involved. Similarly, at New York University, the nondiscrimination and anti-harassment policy was updated to clarify that discriminatory language against protected groups, including “Zionists,” could warrant punishment.

The debate over what constitutes antisemitism has led universities to adopt definitions that consider certain criticisms of Israel as antisemitic. This has raised concerns among pro-Palestinian students and professors about potential restrictions on their freedom of speech and ability to protest Israeli actions.

The issue of foreign student visas has also been raised in relation to campus protests. A report by House committees criticized the Biden administration for not revoking visas for students who endorse terrorist activities. Testimony before congressional committees has highlighted the challenges universities face in addressing foreign students’ involvement in protests.

Despite these challenges, universities are working to balance the protection of free speech with the need to address antisemitism on their campuses. The ongoing efforts to combat antisemitism and promote a safe and inclusive campus environment are crucial in ensuring that all students feel respected and supported in their academic pursuits.
