Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts has fired 10 employees following anti-Israel protests at the school earlier this spring.
“College leadership has made the difficult decision to eliminate ten staff positions to help us realize our necessary cost savings,” announced an Aug. 13 email sent by the college’s leadership. “We are grateful for the contributions these dedicated staff members have made to the College, and we have made arrangements to support them in this transition.”
School President Jay M. Bernhardt initially announced the plans for the staff reduction on June 18, citing dropping enrollment in the college. Bernhardt attributed the falling enrollment in part to the negative attention that Emerson has gotten due to disruptive anti-Israel protests at the college.

During the protest, “some of these protesters even went so far as demanding that members of the public identify themselves before allowing them to pass down the pedestrian alley,” according to the police.
One Emerson student covering the protest mentioned the protesters’ intimidating behavior: “I was in there [taking photos] yesterday, and someone told me, no Zionists are allowed in this part of the alley, and I was like, I live here, I pay tuition here. A lot of our friends don’t feel safe to leave our buildings.”

Universities had better start paying attention to the writing on the wall. Between the drop in birth rate, the far left agenda, and the ever-increasing cost of tuition, young people are looking at other options for an education and a start to their career. The trend is not looking good for a reversal of the drop in enrollment anytime soon.
They are hate factories.
Isn’t Emerson also the college that publishes regular results of election surveys showing Trump behind Harris by 5 points?
I read that an elite Jewish private H.S. named Ramaz in NYC for the first time has ZERO graduates attending nearby Columbia University. 2 years ago 40 PERCENT of female grads went there! Yeah, that’s how smart they are, and their parents often paid full tuition. Columbia is going to be wrecked by this brain and cash drain.

“Isn’t Emerson also the college that publishes regular results of election surveys showing Trump behind Harris by 5 points?”
Yes, they are.
I believe that when even their polling showed that Trump was leading in every swing state and even Minnesota was when they decided to dump Biden.
Now, they pretend Harris is the best political candidate ever to take the stage. Everyone, and I mean everyone, just loves Kamala!
Mess with God’s chosen people and you pay the price.
The safest places for Jewish students would be Christian schools (not CINO schools like Notre Dame).
Same same as Wells college in N.y.
