What I Want a University President to Say About Campus Protests

Bret Stephens, Opinion Columnist, writes:  As college students return to campus, this is what I hope a university president might say to them about how their school intends to handle future protests. Welcome back. As you all know, last year our campus, like many others, was racked by protests that began right after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7 and intensified as the war in Gaza unfolded. We are not going to allow those protests to happen again, at least not in the aggressive, disruptive and sometimes lawless ways in which they were conducted last year. I’m here to tell you why.
