MIT wouldn’t suspend students who threatened Jews, over fears they’d be deported

University regulations specifically prohibit demonstrations occurring at the site of heavy campus traffic

Newsroom November 16 06:36

MIT admitted the reason it failed to follow through with threats to suspend students who participated in an unauthorized anti-Israel protest was because the school feared the agitators could be deported.

Institute President Sally Kornbluth acknowledged the elite university’s position in a statement in response to a protest that posed a threat to Jewish and Israeli students.

The demonstration was held last Thursday in ‘Lobby 7,’ the entrance to MIT. University regulations specifically prohibit demonstrations occurring at the site of heavy campus traffic.

A group called the Committee Against Apartheid organized the protest, which began at 8am.

Upon learning what was happening, a group of Jewish and Israeli students showed up to stage a counter-protest.

The statement issued by Kornbluth – who has served as president of the university since January – said after the confrontation between protestors erupted “we had serious concerns that it could lead to violence”.
