Protests in support of Hamas have spread across elite universities, including Columbia University. Protesters have erected tent cities, disrupted university operations, and harassed Jewish students. Universities, financially supported by taxpayers, have facilitated these demonstrations, while students spend minimal time studying and devote their efforts to political activism.

The author argues that universities have become irresponsible and need to shift their focus back to educating students and preparing them for productive lives.
