Antisemitic, hateful environment

Pros

Half off tuition for your kids at any college in the country.

Cons

Hate filled environment for Jews or Israelis. Administration won’t fire or even discipline the 200 professors who physically harassed Jewish students at the April 2024 encampment. Instead they get promoted for their bigotry and anti-Jewish racism. A group of faculty and staff have been lobbying the Trustees and administration for two years to fix the place and they still haven’t even instituted and decent training on how not to hate Jewish people or to not demonize an entire country just because Jews dare to defend themselves against brutal terrorists. And that’s after they made an agreement with the federal government—which they aren’t holding up their end of.
