The remarks indicate a growing concern over the role of universities in addressing sensitive and complex issues.

John Barrasso (R-WY) said at a press event on Wednesday that university leaders who have placated pro-Hamas extremists on their campuses deserve to lose their jobs and their schools should have their federal funding pulled.<\/p>\n<p>Barrasso\u2019s remarks come as multiple major universities have seen encampments spring up on their campuses where anti-Semitism has been fostered and various criminal acts have taken place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cViolent mobs are continuing to sweep across America\u2019s campuses. And these are anti-Jewish mobs, pro-Hamas mobs,\u201d Barrasso said. \u201cWe have Jewish students on campus who are hearing the kind of threats that their great grandparents heard in Nazi Germany. And yet, the Biden administration and the Democrats across the country refuse to act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJewish students have actually been chased out of the classroom and off campus. And yet, university administrators, they cater to the mobs,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe pro-Hamas terrorists have been out there shutting down classrooms and they have canceled classes today at UCLA. Commencements have been canceled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barrasso said that college university presidents and administrators who have \u201cput extremism ahead of education\u201d should \u201close their jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, Joe Biden and the national Democrats try to downplay this un-American activity. That\u2019s dangerous and it\u2019s wrong,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have laws in this country to protect against violence, to protect students. Students have a right to be protected. Jewish students, all students on campus [have a right to be protected] from harassment, from discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said that schools that have failed to protect students should \u201close their federal funding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Joe Biden would rather waffle than act. And why is that? Why does he bow down to these pro-Hamas protesters? It\u2019s because of the election coming up and he knows he needs their votes,\u201d he concluded. \u201cThat\u2019s absolutely wrong. What the president ought to be doing is applying the law, returning order to campuses, and getting students back into the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a press event, Sen.
