People love to accuse me of hypocrisy on campus speech and antisemitism, given my longstanding support for speech over conflicting antidiscrimination laws, but my position remains consistent.
There are three separate but related issues with regard to campus antisemitism and speech (note that vandalism, threats, disruptive behavior etc., aren't in the ambit of free speech, nor is enforcing content-neutral reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions on protests an infringement of freedom of speech).
Q. Should speech (even grossly offensive speech) be protected vs. claims that speech, as such, creates a hostile environment, including vs. Jews?
A. Yes. Universities should not be held liable for permitting even grossly offensive speech.
