UC Berkeley: We Condemn That Anti-Semitic Protest -- Secretly, Of Course

Days after the posting of a video that showed the dean of the University of California, Berkeley’s law school and his wife clashing with anti-Israel students at their home during what was meant to be a congratulatory graduation dinner, the university’s president condemned the incident as “antisemitic, threatening and not [a reflection of] the values of this university.” 

After the incident, in which a student grabbed a microphone to give an unauthorized speech about the plight of Palestinians at the home of law school Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, some students and local Jewish leaders are left wondering whether UC Berkeley will take disciplinary action, and are calling out the school’s leadership for a lack of transparency.

UC Berkeley is a public school, not a private institution. It should immediately disclose the names of the adults who participated in this criminal act and the punishments for those actions that the school will impose. The students made this a very public action, so they have no reasonable expectation of privacy when it comes to the consequences. 

I'd guess that the school won't disclose the consequences because the school won't actually impose any consequences. Those students should be expelled, but I doubt if they'll even get a reprimand.
