Quite possible it's the invitation and the presence of Jewish students that that violated Berkeley's values. Given the absence of any police response I assume the riot didn't attract any attention. In a statement after the event, Berkeley chancellor Carol Christ and executive vice chancellor Benjamin Hermalin wrote that the incident “violated not only our rules, but also some of our most fundamental values.” The letter notes that the university took precautions to add security, including campus police. They said the goal was to keep students safe and let the event go forward, but “it was not possible to do both given the size of the crowd and the threat of violence.”
That’s some admission. When the hate directed at Jewish students on campus is so extreme that the university can’t protect them, the failure rests with school officials as much as with the harassers.

was from the article, not my comment.
If you look at history, you will find that the particular form of antisemitic that the Nazis espoused was a product of the universities.
The most eye-opening experience I had (outside of the Holy Spirit amplifying the Word to me ) was reading the transcripts of the Nuremberg war crimes trials; it consists of 15-22 volumes; the first volume was called “The doctor trials”; it was so graphic that it was difficult to read.
They can be found online but any decent college library should have them.
