This incident falls within a larger context of rising anti-Semitic sentiments on college campuses, leading to multiple lawsuits against universities failing to ensure student safety during protests. The changing dynamics represent a sort of cultural reckoning as universities find themselves under fire for unaddressed policies that promote environments of hostility rather than safety.

The Department of Education and Department of Justice are taking steps to hold institutions accountable, with considerations to impose taxes on university endowments and reshape federal funding structures.
