I would be very interested if any of the HN readers here are either students at UCLA, or were within the last three or four years, to be able to comment on whether this depiction of the intellectual attitude there is overwrought or not.
For that matter, anyone who's been in a public university in the last three or four years, PERSONALLY (not just telling me what you've read about, I've read those articles as well), either as student or professor, I would be interested.

- yamanawabi 4y agoThere are pro and anti-Israel groups on campus, and students from all backgrounds and ethnicities make up the social sciences programs. Much like a normal college campus. There is no anti-Jewish bias as an academic establishment from my perception
- david38 4y agoQuite the opposite. Many people feel there is a pro-Jewish bias. Universities openly limit the number of Asian students in the name of diversity, but when a school is around 40% Jewish, there doesn’t seem to be a problem. Many have a problem with that, hence the lawsuits.
