Harvard Alumni and President Clash Over Pro-Palestine Protest and Antisemitism Training

Prominent Harvard alumni have criticized university leadership in two open letters, condemning their failure to address a perceived rise in antisemitism on campus. The letters were prompted by a viral video of a pro-Palestine protest at Harvard Business School, in which organizers confronted an Israeli student and escorted him away. The video sparked severe criticism, with alumni questioning why the students involved were not immediately suspended. The Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee defended the actions of the organizers, stating they were trained marshals ensuring protest safety. The incident is being investigated by the FBI and the Harvard University Police Department.
