both in support of the president of pennsylvania university and in support of the president of harvard university and their concern had two important axes. one of their concerns was that this chapter would be used to question the independence of universities against political pressures coming from outside the universities, and their second most important concern was the weakening of the issue of freedom of speech in american universities. just as you said, the issue of anti-semitism in america, why is it highlighted so much by these authorities? in order to give a clear answer to your question, i must point out two points. let's say that the issue of anti-semitism in the enlightened and political environment of america is an issue that has always been sensitive, now this is a historical background. now, the reason is that we have nothing to do here, but anyway, it has always been a sensitive issue, but the issue is that american politicians have always abused this sensitivity to eliminate their opponents on the pretext of anti-semitism, and we now see many examples, one of the most recent and per
