” It is up to their authority, university leadership, and schools, to make that decision”, White House press secretary Karine Jean- Pierre said during Monday’s media presentation. ” I’m not going to weigh in on that from around.”
In response to the protests, protesters have set up camps in Gaza, most importantly at Columbia University in New York City and elsewhere, evoking a nationwide controversy over how to handle them.
Democrats have urged President Joe Biden to appoint the National Guard to restore order to universities, while some on the left have opposed officers detention of protesters at institutions like the University of Texas at Austin.
Jean- Pierre called for peaceful protests and decried racist speech, but he did not go into great depth.
” We are going to continue to say that everyone in America has the right to peacefully protest,” she said. We must also condemn any cruel language that we hear. Antisemitism is bad. So we will accomplish that. However, colleges and universities make their own choices.
