University of Chicago Considered Aggressive Response to ‘Watch Lists’ of Anti-Israel Students

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

University of Chicago administrators considered an aggressive response to "watch lists" of anti-Israel students posted online and in flyers distributed on campus by pro-Israel groups, according to a recently released memo.

After students demanded the university take action on their behalf against the David Horowitz Freedom Center and anonymous website Canary Mission—both of which aim to document anti-Israel and anti-Semitic activity by U.S. students, and publicly name individuals who engage in such activities—administrators weighed the "pros and cons" of engaging directly with the organizations, according to student paper the Chicago Maroon.

Those named by Canary Mission and the Horowitz Center included students associated with Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), the Muslim Students Association, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), and boycott, divestment, and sanctions coalition UofC Divest.
