You guessed it . George Soros
The group is 'Education for Just Peace in the Middle East' . Soros and the Rockefeller Foundation is their piggy bank .

Texas will lead the way
The governor said in a statement Wednesday that the executive order will mean campuses “are safe spaces for the Jewish community.” It comes months after the state dismantled diversity, equity and inclusion offices, whose responsibilities included making college more inclusive to students of all cultures and backgrounds.
Per Abbott’s order, the chair of the board of regents at each college has 90 days to share documentation verifying revisions were made to free speech policies and evidence that those policies have been enforced.

The responses from university leaders have been disgraceful. Administrators who never hesitated to send strongly worded statements on real and perceived social-justice issues have been reluctant to condemn Hamas. Similarly, university leaders who regularly silenced non-progressive students and faculty members (https://www.thefire.org/news/just-released-2022-2023-college-free-speech-rankings) in the past have suddenly discovered the virtue of “free speech” in addressing anti-Semitism on campus.
Such moral cowardice has likely emboldened some pro-Palestinian students to move from verbal to physical intimidation against Jewish students in recent weeks. At New York City’s Cooper Union College, a librarian had to lock several Jewish students inside the library to protect them from pro-Palestinian protesters pounding on the door. On Harvard’s campus, a group of pro-Palestinian students, including the editor of the Harvard Law Review, surrounded (https://nypost.com/2023/11/02/business/bill-ackman-demands-suspension-of-harvard-law-review-editor-who-accosted-jewish-student) a Jewish student and shouted, “Shame, shame!” These incidents are not examples of “free speech,” but physical intimidation of Jewish students.

when faculty and administrators on campus are a bunch of enabling appeasers .
And have been for decades. That's the core of the problem. Responsible behavior has not been enforced.
“the sharp rise in antisemitic speech and acts on university campuses.”People are free to speak, and I'm leery of restrictions on that speech or even for calls for such restrictions. They are not free to engage in slander or to either encourage or engage in acts of violence, or even to set up tent cities and occupy public spaces as an act of protest. As the article above said, "Such moral cowardice has likely emboldened some pro-Palestinian students to move from verbal to physical intimidation against Jewish students in recent weeks." And the answer for physical intimidation, or even verbal intimidation for that matter, is to arrest those clowns and, in this case, kick them out of college, or to even stick their sorry tails in jail.
Conservatives have been the victims for a couple of decades now of the repression of free speech on college campuses, either of the official sort or, even worse, as the result of violent mobs. We should be the greatest advocates of free speech. Someone once said something to the effect that the solution for bad ideas is more free speech.
If you want to see how much liberals love free speech, go to a church in San Francisco and try preaching about what the Bible says about homosexual behavior. Then see what kind of welcoming committee you have standing outside the door the following Sunday.

The only real problem I see is that he starts out mentioning public universities ;but his EO applies to all colleges in Texas. Public universities are supported by tax dollars and it is acceptable to have conditions of admission and conduct that includes speech.
My own opinion is that if the protesters want to voice their hate then do it off campus .Maybe they should go to a mosque where such vitriol is welcome. They have been violent and their "free speech" provokes violence.

Pro Jewish genocide "mostly peaceful" protesters are trying to make it a version of the "Summer of Love 2020 " and the occupy movement . It has now gone beyond green tents provided by Soros. They are now breaking into campus buildings and barricading them for a siege.
This happened at Hamilton Hall at Columbia U .

"We will not be moved by these intimidation tactics. You can see the students are mobilized. There's hundreds of them here today. They will not be moved. We demand divestment, we will not be moved unless by force," Seuda Polat, a Columbia University graduate student, said during a press conference Monday.

This happened at Cal State Poly Humbolt
When university administrators across the nation worry about the potential fallout from campus protests, they may have Siemens Hall in mind.
The building at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, includes the campus president’s office and has been occupied for a week by pro-Palestinian protesters who barricaded themselves inside and fought off an early attempt by the police to remove them. Protesters have since tagged walls and renamed it “Intifada Hall” by ripping off most of the signage on the brick exterior.
Inside, they painted graffiti messages like “Time 2 Free Gaza,” “Pigs Not Allowed,” and “Land Back,” according to a video posted by the local news site Redheaded Blackbelt (https://www.facebook.com/RedheadedBlackbelt/videos/408367932044811/). They occupied and defaced the office of the president, Tom Jackson Jr., spraying “Blood On Your Hands” across one framed wall hanging and “I Will Live Free or Die Trying” on his door.
The school, situated more than 275 miles north of San Francisco among the ancient coastal redwoods that drip with fog mist, is the site of the nation’s most entrenched campus protest. It has gone well beyond the encampments on student quads elsewhere; at Cal Poly Humboldt, protesters took over the power center of the campus and have rejected increasingly desperate entreaties from officials for them to vacate the premises.

Wow. Those admins at Northwestern really know how to play hardball with the violent protestors.
The concessions, according to a copy of the agreement (https://www.northwestern.edu/leadership-notes/2024/april-29-agreement-on-deering-meadow.html) published by Northwestern leadership, include:
Disclosure of school investments to students who request information.
Funding to support two visiting Palestinian faculty members for two years; full-ride scholarships for five Palestinian undergraduate students; and a commitment to fundraise for similar opportunities.
Immediate establishment of a temporary community house for Muslim, and Middle Eastern, and North African students and a promise to establish a permanent space.
In exchange, students will only have one tent set up on the picturesque university lawn and will only use amplified sound devices with advanced permission from the school, according to the agreement. They also risk suspension if they don't follow the terms of the agreement.
The message is very obvious. If you want something at Northwestern, then hold several days of wild protests and it will be granted. Well done, NW!!

This we subsidize
How so?
Let me count the ways. There are grants ;loan guarantees (and now loan forgiveness) ;direct funding of scholarships that are excluded as income ,and a multitude of higher education incentives built into the tax code.
Federal and state funding, together, continue to make up a substantial share of public college and university budgets, at 34 percent of public schools’ total revenue in 2017.

Reagan's Sec Ed William Bennet predicted this in 1987
If anything, increases in financial aid in recent years have enabled colleges and universities blithely to raise their tuitions, confident that Federal loan subsidies would help cushion the increase. In 1978, subsidies became available to a greatly expanded number of students. In 1980, college tuitions began rising year after year at a rate that exceeded inflation.

They have been tip toeing with radical Marxist and Islamist Jew haters for a half year trying to find the perfect balance between free speech and order .
As we saw during the Occupy Wall Street and other similar "mostly peaceful" protests ,eventually the police they want to defund are called in to clean up the mess they create by appeasing them.

This could change soon. He is scheduled to give the commencement address at Morehouse College May 19 . Faculty and students are not exactly thrilled with the prospect.
This is clearly a campaign stop for him . He will be in battleground state of Georgia and catering to a Black audience. But his continued support for Israel puts him at odds with these anti-Jew protesters .
So far when he is on campus he concentrates on the right to kill babies. His last stop at George Mason University ,he tried to make it about abortion. But he was heckled about Israel.

Because his re-election team assumes an equivalence between younger Democratic voters and the Gaza encampment occupants, the American president has himself become a hostage to the hardest of the U.S. hard left. He won’t cross them, and they know it.
When Mr. Biden gets to Chicago in August for the Democratic convention, uber-left Mayor Brandon Johnson won’t have the cops’ back the way New York’s Eric Adams did this week. On current course, the Biden candidacy could die this summer in Chicago.

The new antisemitism is spreading. I was not aware of how bad it has become until reading Mickey D's . Their franchises in Israel made the fatal error of feeding IDF forces.

The divestment army swung into action.
Last month the corporation made the call to buy back ALL the Micky D's franchises in Israel.

I can't join a boycott against Micky D's here in response because I have not eaten their greasy slop and gruel in years. But I stand with any American Jew who boycotts them in response.

The national news is suppressing how bad it has become.
As an example ;it was mostly locally reported in Portland that the jihadist /lefty alliance broke into the Portland Police complex and torched at least 15 police cars to obstruct their response to the library attack. (obstructing official proceedings ???? )

Even worse ; At UCLA ;a young Jewish woman was assaulted by the mostly peaceful protesters ,and beaten unconscious.

An under cover cop says that municipal cops should let the Universities clean up their own mess .
I would avoid getting involved as much as possible. The universities created this problem, and it’s not fair for them to ask the cops to come in and fix it. The universities have their own security forces. The state schools have their own police forces. They can expel people. They created this mess; it seems like they really encouraged it. Then it got out of hand, and now they want to be rescued. There’s no upside for the cities and police departments to bail out the universities.

The appeasing faculty enables the antisemitic Hamas supporting protesters .
The faculty at Ivy League Princton University in NJ passed a non-binding resolution that would give amnesty for arrested and disciplined protesters .

amnesty for arrested and disciplined protesters .That's as long, of course, as they are protesting situations included in the official "Faculty Approved Protest List". Now if you are protesting abortion, then you will be introduced to the bottom of the jail. That's how the modern diversity and inclusion process works.

Terror states and their patron terrorist gangs love western student protesters .
Al Quada chimed in
Here is a translation of their May 24 statement
As we support the assassination and beheading of Zionist unbelievers, so also we value and appreciate the movement of Western protesters and occupiers from among the students of Western universities, who by their occupying and protests have expressed their rejection of the ongoing genocide in proud Gaza( translated by the Hoover Institution’s Cole Bunzel)
He adds
But unlike the Western unbelievers, the statement adds, the Muslim youth have "the legal and divine obligation" to undertake jihad on the model of "The Vanguards of the Liberation," i.e., to murder Zionists wherever they are found

No such obligation exists with westerners . The students support Jewish genocide with no such religious obligations .
The Supreme leader of Iran;the Ayatollah -a followed up 2 days later telling the protesters :
“You have now formed a branch of the Resistance Front,”

(I am Joe Biden and I approve this message )
Then the thug who runs arguably the most brutal regime on the planet wrote
“The support and solidarity of your professors is a significant and consequential development. This can offer some measure of comfort in the face of your government’s police brutality.”
He ends his statement by advising them to convert to Islam. Presumable this means taking up the flag of jihad and tossing the rainbow flag . What ? You mean that radical jihadistan will not embrace the LGBTQ++ XYZ movement ? huh

It's hard to figure out just how bad the Islamic support on college campuses is. It seems fairly obvious that colleges are far more left-wing than in the past, but given the total number of students on those campuses, the numbers of Hamas supporters is probably a fairly small, even tiny percentage.

I watched the video of the Lafayette Park riot again this morning . There were some things I missed There were enough people protesting to surround the White House with a "redline" banner. Crowd estimate was about 9,000 And yet there were only a relative handful of Park Police present . NONE of them were suited up with protective riot gear. As the mostly peaceful protesters vandalized monuments in the park ;the police were assaulted .
Most news outlets are not covering this . Two officers were injured as they were being pelted with objects thrown at them . There were NO ARRESTS !!!
NBC News had protestor favorable coverage. They note that the police attempted to arrest ONE protester who got away when the mob helped the person escape. The police were armed with pepper spray.
(keep reading NBC decided this was worthy of a paragraph at the end of the report)
Thousands gather outside White House to protest war in Gaza (nbcnews.com) (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/thousands-gather-white-house-protest-war-gaza-rcna156186)
The mob essentially chased the cops out of the park.
