Northwestern University will require all students to undergo training on preventing antisemitism and Islamophobia as the school seeks to avert the kind of divisive protests over the Israel-Hamas war that shook college campuses in the spring.
The training will also be provided to faculty and staff, Northwestern said in a statement. In addition, the university will host a series of lectures about hate, racism, and the history of the conflict in the Middle East. The school also plans to release updates to its student code of conduct and demonstration policy in September.
