He had them arrested and their encampments removed, restoring the collegial learning environment that the vast majority of students want and deserve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The University of North Carolina (UNC) has also been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campusreform.org\/article\/unc-chapel-hill-diverts-millions-dei-improve-campus-safety-\/25458\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">resolute<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  in quelling protests and has beefed up policing on campus. This zero-tolerance approach to unlawful and childish behavior will yield benefits for these universities unlike schools that cowardly appeased. In the words of a Rutgers protester: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/news\/2024\/05\/facing-deadline-pro-palestinian-protesters-at-rutgers-agree-to-disperse-take-down-tents.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe will be back if the demands are not met!\u201d<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. That\u2019s not a negotiation; it\u2019s a hostage scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But to truly fix this crisis, universities need to eliminate the source of this weaponized student radicalism: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programming. UNC has now joined universities in Virginia, Alabama, Florida, Texas, and Wyoming in banning DEI. This is the kind of leadership we need to see from college and university presidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The DEI programming complex has enabled hateful student activism (and terrorism) to spread on campuses. DEI\u2019s guiding principles sow division between groups to propagate anti-American resentment via antisemitic stereotypes that legitimate the complex\u2019s at-all-costs agenda for socially engineered outcomes. Anti-Jewish terrorism has made university and political leaders see that DEI facilitates the radicalization of undereducated youth. To stop the Intifada from spreading off college campuses, universities must go after the fount of incitement and division: DEI programming and values.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Universities that have taken firm action and have rightly suppressed DEI gaslighting provide the blueprint for the way forward. The others will learn the hard way that negotiating with terrorists is cowardly and weak. They will most certainly be back for more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>* * *<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Zachary Marschall is editor in chief of the Leadership Institute\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.com\/v3\/__https:\/www.campusreform.org\/profile?pid=6097122__;!!F0Stn7g!ERMnN5MP7i8HyJ3EVeXhE-qI6mrO3mhyYS94RxCPXS_J4z86AR6cml4j1hQtnyPYAd61_PednvMZ2bIFhHgYIjKnnkUk%24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Campus Reform<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  and an adjunct assistant professor at the University of Kentucky.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The America that once refused to negotiate with terrorists has changed.
