Professor Gary Gilbert, Claremont McKenna College, writing in Inside Higher Education: “My deep sense of trepidation stems not only from the protests themselves but also from frustration at not knowing how to change the tenor of the conversation. Like other faculty across the country, I participated in panels, gave informational talks, and even posted myself at the center of campus with a sign that read, “Have questions about Israel/Palestine? Let’s talk. No shouting. No slogans. Just talk.” For effort, I deserved an A. For effectiveness, I would assign a generous grade of C–.” Read Gilbert’s full commentary here.
