Trump’s Attacks On Universities Hit Home In Illinois

from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons

Northwestern and other schools received a letter from the Department of Education that said the universities were being investigated over claims of alleged antisemitism on campus. The warning letter comes on the heels of the detention of Columbia University student and protest organizer Mahmoud Khalil, who faces deportation without a specific charge. Reset turns to WBEZ higher education reporter Lisa Kurian Philip and the ACLU’s Ed Yohnka to look at First Amendment concerns and why Northwestern is under the microscope.
