Original: Mnookin says campus risks becoming ‘performative’ space for protest if gates open at University Senate plenary
At a University Senate plenary, Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin argued that keeping campus gates closed is necessary, warning that opening them would risk turning the university into a 'performative' space for protest rather than a place of learning. Her remarks come amid ongoing debate over campus access policies and their impact on demonstrations, with students and faculty divided over balancing security, free expression and normal university life.
Why now: Universities are still grappling with how to handle pro-Palestinian protests and campus access restrictions, making remarks by a senior administrator contentious.
