Summary
US universities are bracing for funding cuts and investigations as President-elect Trump and his allies target them in their anti-“woke” campaign, using the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism, to justify crackdowns on pro-Palestine activism.
Measures include threatening federal funding, revoking accreditation, and pressuring institutions to suppress protests.
Critics warn these efforts will chill free speech, stifle academic inquiry, and escalate censorship.
Civil liberties groups and educators vow to resist these attacks on higher education and political expression.

I thought someone literally recorded a clip of UofM’s Santa Ono claiming all the above for as far back as the protests started, which is why most universities already cracked down in their student body.

You obviously didn’t read this and are also racist
remember kids, a protest without the threat of escalation is no protest at all.
Exactly, the phrase “violence is never the answer” breaks down pretty quickly when your adversary is not only okay with using violence, but opens with it.
Passive action against violent people facilitates oppression.Violence is sometimes the answer.
Curious how they’ll be using antisemitism as a justification to attack Jews.
The only antisemitism here that’s happening is the State attacking anti-zionist Jews
It won’t be Jews this time it will be Muslims. The hate verbiage is already there: moose-lambs, sand-niggers, towel-heads, terrorists, etc. etc. Soon it will just be “well let’s just kill them all they aren’t human anyway”
Its both
They’ve been doing it for decades, and the media is always complicit. It’s like Chomsky wrote “Manufacturing Consent” specifically with Zionism in mind.
I only saw the movie. Did he specifically reference Zionism?
They come after your neighbors then the come after you. Yesterday and today it is “anti genocide” tomorrow “anti Republican”
Democrat standing by while universities beat up students normalized Republican similar behavior and laws.
Both parties are working for a class you are not a part of it.
You had me in the first part.
But I thought he thought antisemites were very fine people!
he only likes nazis, not the centrists
Hey, just like they’ve already been doing!
Good thing we have those critics telling us that. Imagine if they didn’t! Holy cow what a world that would be, you might end up with a fascist government!
