Dartmouth, history Professor Annelise Orleck this week became the latest academic arrested in the pro-Palestinian protests unfolding on campuses across the country. Orleck’s case presents an interesting twice. Her criminal charge came with an order not to return to campus. She is teaching 60 students this term.

Ninety protesters were arrested at Dartmouth College, including Orleck who accused police of being “brutal.” Orleck teaches Jewish studies classes and supports the protest. She has objected to the charge of antisemitism raised by the governor and others:

“As a Jewish woman of an age that I grew up in a neighborhood full of Holocaust survivors and knew Holocaust survivors, I have to say that I think this is disingenuous,. It’s a weaponizing of antisemitism for their own political purposes, which is to suppress dissent. And if, in fact, as the governor and the college president said, the point is to make the campus safer for the Jewish community members, I have to say that what happened next made it decidedly less safe for all of us.”
