My understanding, per Bari Weiss, is that she is personally responsible for political violence that occurs on campus or against professors because she has been critical of campuses donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-worst-...
The acceleration of political violence has been frightening: from the attack on the Capitol in January 2021, to the murder of a healthcare executive allegedly by Luigi Mangione, to the attempted assassinations of Trump, to the killing of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., to the shooting of state lawmakers in Minnesota. And now Kirk's murder. There are many guilty parties in the rise of political violence. But to our minds, among the biggest culprits are the universities. In the same way that madrassas radicalize jihadis, America's campuses are among the places in the U.S. most hostile to disagreement and debate. Where they preach "inclusion," they actually practice exclusion -shouting down speakers they disagree with, for instance. Where they promote "diversity," they actually enforce a uniformity of thought, denying tenure to dissenters.
