The Hamas massacre at Octobre 7 2023 and the defence war of Israel against the Hamas terrorism has brought the long-simmering debates over free speech on college campuses to a boiling point. The academic world has lost itself to antisemitism and support of terrorism. Politics should restore the academic free expression. This means to secure universities from violent activism and to remove the pro-terrorist camps, students, employees and professors.

Consider to take the rules for free expression of the University of Chicago as the founding example. As a corollary to the University’s commitment to protect and promote free expression, members of the University community must also act in conformity with the principle of free expression.

Although members of the University community are free to criticize and contest the views expressed on campus, and to criticize and contest speakers who are invited to express their views on campus, they may not obstruct or otherwise interfere with the freedom of others to express views they reject or even
loathe.

To this end, the University has a solemn responsibility not only to promote a lively and fearless freedom of debate and deliberation, but also to protect that freedom when others attempt to restrict it.
