    Trump's Pet-Eating Claim Meant Crisis for This Campus Leader

Soon, Wittenberg University, a private institution in Springfield, began receiving violent threats. Michael Frandsen, the university’s president, feared the worst — and got an education in the viral power of misinformation.

    Professors at the Protest

    When protests against the Israel-Hamas war swept across college campuses this past spring, student activists were joined in some cases by their professors. That’s what happened at Indiana University, where state police led a particularly aggressive crackdown on demonstrators. The professors’ reasons for participating were varied and complex, but their decisions point toward a thorny and persistent question: Do faculty members have any business joining student protests? Guest: Kate Hidalgo Bellows, staff reporter at The Chronicle of Higher Education Related Reading:  Mideast War, Midwest Crisis: Indiana U. made a series of unpopular decisions.
