[IsraelTimes] Presidents of Northwestern and Rutgers insist they didn’t yield to protesters’ demands, as Republican committee head, Virginia Foxx (NC) accuses them ,and UCLA pres, of ‘capitulating to the antisemitic rule breakers’The presidents of Northwestern and Rutgers universities defended their decisions to end anti-Israel encampments by reaching agreements with the pro-Paleostinian student protesters, claiming during a US House committee hearing on Thursday that they defused the danger without ceding ground to the demonstrators. "We had to get the encampment down," Northwestern’s Michael Schill said. "The police solution was not going to be available to us to keep people safe, and also may not be the wisest solution as we’ve seen at other campuses across the country."
