The more troubling trend is the rising violent rhetoric isn’t just coming from the ‘fringe’ left, it’s being ‘normalized’ by the left.The unhinged left, fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome and seething hatred for Elon Musk, is trending more violent, according to a new study that finds political violence targeting President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser is “becoming increasingly normalized.” The report, produced by the Network of Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) in partnership with Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab, finds a broader “assassination culture” appears to be “emerging within segments of the U.S. public on the extreme left, with expanding...

The Department of Education warned 60 colleges and universities Monday that they could be next to have federal funding taken away over antisemitic discrimination and harassment. Those named and shamed included six of the eight Ivy League institutions — Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Princeton and Yale — and local schools Rutgers, Rutgers-Newark, Sarah Lawrence, three branches of the State University of New York, The New School and Wellesley. Monday’s announcement comes three days after the Trump administration’s federal antisemitism task force pulled back $400 million in grants and contracts from Columbia following monthslong Jew-hating demonstrations following the Oct. 7, 2023,...

President Joe Biden's Department of Education reached an agreement with Johns Hopkins University to settle civil rights complaints that alleged widespread campus anti-Semitism in the wake of Hamas's Oct. 7 terror attack. The agreement will see Hopkins, which did not admit wrongdoing, implement underwhelming reforms like general anti-discrimination training...Anti-Semitism at Hopkins especially reared its head in May when an Israeli Ph.D. student said she was "hit by a girl holding a Palestinian flag, right at the campus entrance." The girl "shouted at me to go back to Europe and hurled insults at me and Israelis," the Israeli student said in...

A professor at Rutgers University posted to Facebook after someone tried to kill former President Donald Trump, writing “Let’s hope today’s events inspire others.” A source provided Campus Reform with the Facebook posts, which were made by Rutgers University Writing Program Assistant Teaching Professor Tracy Budd in the hours after someone tried to assassinate Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. ”Let’s hope today’s events inspire others,” Budd said in one post. ”They shot his wig. Sad,” Budd wrote in another. Budd’s Facebook is set to private, but her cover picture contains a poster at a protest that read: “Capitalism...

Rutgers University students drowned out anti-Israel protestors with the Star-Spangled Banner and chants of 'USA' amid hostile clashes on campuses across the nation. The New Jersey institution played host to a Gaza Encampment for four days, before a deal was reached with administrators to bring the protests to an end on Thursday. Footage from the encampment hours before it was shut down saw patriotic students descend on the demonstration, where Hamas-supporters showed their frustration at being counter-protested.

Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway agreed to eight of the ten demands given to him by the pro-Hamas mob that forced the school to cancel final exams on Thursday when they occupied Voorhees Mall.

Princeton University students took over an administrative building at the Ivy League school Monday afternoon, according to the Princeton Gaza Solidarity Encampment, while Rutgers University protestors have set up an encampment of at least a dozen tents on Voorhees Mall in New Brunswick. The escalating protests come five days after Princeton arrested two students Thursday for starting to put up tents. Protestors there have continued their presence on McCosh Courtyard, with teach-ins and visiting poets, as they called on the university to divest its investments from firms profiting from the Israel-Hamas war. Similar encampments have led to weeks of tensions...

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, told its campuses this month to fuggedaboudit when it comes to COVID-19 vaccine mandates.It's not clear the taxpayer-funded institution, which tested the jabs for reduction of symptoms but not transmission in clinical trials for Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, can forget about legal consequences, however.A lawsuit by independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Children's Health Defense seems destined for the Supreme Court to determine whether Rutgers "suspending" the mandate, as an April 1 systemwide email announced, is enough to end the litigation.The University of California Los Angeles didn't fare so well...

An early morning shooting just blocks from student housing at Rutgers University left two people affiliated with the New Jersey school injured on Friday. The shooting occurred just after 2 a.m. at the intersection of Easton Avenue and Hamilton Street in New Brunswick following an apparent altercation, Rutgers police announced. Police found a male victim “affiliated with Rutgers University” with gunshot wounds and took him to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, RLS Media reports.

A Rutgers University professor told a seminar discussing the Israel-Hamas conflict that it is 'violent' and 'homophobic' to raise the issue of how LGBT people are treated in Gaza. Maya Mikdashi, associate Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at New Jersey's State University, told students earlier this month that she has been approached by people at pro-Palestine protests who tell her that she would be treated horribly by Hamas. 'So I've been at protests where I'm then told "don't you know what Hamas would do to you, if you were in Palestine",' she said.

The philanthropy network steering the wealth of Democratic megadonor George Soros awarded a paid fellowship to the leader of a law school’s anti-Israel office facing a Senate investigation for promoting terrorist sympathizers, records show. Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans this month requested Rutgers University by Feb. 20 turn over funding and budget information on its Center for Security, Race and Rights, which the lawmakers accused of spreading “vile antisemitic propaganda,” while its advisory board included Adeel Mangi, a judicial nominee for the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Rutgers Law professor Sahar Aziz, who directs the center, pocketed $143,000 from the...

March 25, 2021, Rutgers University became the first university in the nation to announce it would require students to take COVID vaccines for fall 2021 enrollment, retracting its January 8, 2021 announcement that “…with our stance of human liberties and our history of protecting that, the vaccine is not mandatory.” What happened within a few short months that made Rutgers ultimately decide to hell with student civil liberties? Rutgers claimed and still does to this day that it has a “commitment to health and safety for all members of its community” even though on July 30, 2021, Rochelle Walensky issued...

In a recent article, we considered the claims of Brittney Cooper, a professor at Rutgers University. She believes that all "white people," whom she also refers to as "m------------" who are "committed to being villains" — in a word, racists — need to be "taken out." One of her arguments is that, whenever non-whites try to have a "reckoning" with whites, the latter say, "It's just human nature. If y'all had all of this power, you would have done the same thing," right?To this, Cooper insists,No, that's what white humans did, white human beings thought there's a world here and...

Documents obtained by conservative watchdog group The Media Research Center (MRC) reveal that the Biden administration weaponized taxpayer dollars against mainstream conservative groups and the GOP. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) awarded over $350,000 in grant funding in FY 2022 to a University of Dayton program, known as PREVENTS-OH, as part of the DHS’ Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program (TVTP).DHS’ website describes the TVTP program’s mission as establishing or enhancing capabilities to prevent targeted violence and terrorism through creating modules on media literacy and online critical thinking and identifying the risks and protective factors to prevent ideologically-fueled...

As I have closely documented elsewhere, historical relations between Islam and the West have been utterly distorted in order to present the aggressors as victims and the victims as aggressors.In this article, we look at a similar but even more urgent topic: how history in general has been intentionally distorted in a way that makes segments of the nonwhite population hate, despise, and even want to murder whites.This is no exaggeration. In a speech late last year, Brittney Cooper, a black associate professor at Rutgers University, spewed so much hate against “white people,” to the point of concluding that “we...

Rutgers students walked into empty classrooms Monday morning as their professors demonstrated outside in what is the first teaching strike in the university's history. Picket lines were set up across Rutgers’ three campuses in New Brunswick, Newark and Camden as hundreds of professors, adjunct faculty members and graduate workers — joined by alumni and undergraduate students — held signs demanding better wages. Three faculty unions representing 9,000 members announced their plan to strike Sunday night after nearly a year of contract negotiations with university officials. The unions — which are demanding job security for part-time lecturers and better pay for...

Researchers with the Rutgers Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute have simulated how climate change will affect the distribution of two leading allergens – oak and ragweed pollens – across the contiguous United States. The results, published in the journal Frontiers in Allergy, may make your eyes water. Using computer models, the team, led by Panos Georgopoulos, a professor of Environmental and Occupational Health and Justice at the Rutgers School of Public Health, found that by 2050 climate change significantly will increase airborne pollen loads, with some of the largest surges occurring in areas where pollen is historically uncommon. “Pollen...
