Video shows Jewish students barricaded inside Cooper Union library as pro-Palestinian protesters bang on doors
Campus antisemites are vile but administrators who protect them are just as complicitOver 300 Cooper Union alumni are threatening to cut donations to the university over its response to a pro-Palestinian demonstration thatThe graduates made the funding threat in a scathing Nov. 2 letter to Cooper Union that accused the school of being “more concerned with avoiding a scandal than protecting its Jewish students.
The demonstration had started on the sidewalk outside the library, but when the group entered the building campus security guards decided to secure the library doors. “Please try to imagine for a moment that it was any other minority group placed in the position of your Jewish students on October 25th. Your condemnation would have rang clear as a bell.”Signers of the letter demanded the school condemn the October 25 protest, admit it had responded poorly and called for an investigation into antisemitism at Cooper Union.
“There was no direct threat, there was no damage and there was no danger to any students in the school. The students were not barricaded, a school administrator thought it was prudent to close the doors,” a spokesperson told The Post.
