  • Summary

  • This episode contains explicit language.
    Over recent months, protests over the war in Gaza have rocked college campuses across the United States.

    As students graduate and go home for the summer, three joined “The Daily” to discuss why they got involved, what they wanted to say and how they ended up facing off against each other.

    Guests:

    • Mustafa Yowell, a student at the University of Texas at Austin
    • Elisha Baker, a student at Columbia University
    • Jasmine Jolly, a student at Cal Poly Humboldt

    Background reading:

    • Pro-Palestinian student activists say their movement is anti-Zionist but not antisemitic. It is not a distinction that everyone accepts.
    • The Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Columbia University passed a resolution of no confidence in the university’s president, Nemat Shafik.
