US universities that cut deals with anti-Israel protesters are now paying the price – Hoping to rein in protests on campuses post-October 7, several universities agreed to mull Israel divestment, but even this unprecedented move is inadequate for some activists | The Times of Israel

JTA — One day before its meeting earlier this month, the University of Washington Board of Regents postponed a highly consequential item that was on its agenda: a vote related to an Israel divestment proposal.
But if the public university in Seattle hoped to curb disruptions at the meeting, it didn’t work.
Protesters, many of them motivated by the recent shooting death of a UW graduate by an Israeli soldier in the West Bank, still turned up to the meeting in droves to argue for divestment. They heckled and shouted down a series of Jewish speakers who sought to implore the university to do a better job protecting its Jewish students from antisemitism.
