Elizabeth Rand, founder of Mothers Against College Antisemitism (MACA), has called for deportation of foreign students supporting Hamas, citing a new executive order. Her group, which began after the October 7 Hamas attacks, advises concerned parents to report alleged threats from these students. Critics argue that this stance endangers academic freedom, particularly at institutions like Oberlin College where a professor faced backlash for his class on Jews and Power. Rand’s approach has created significant controversy, especially at NYU where her son attends.
'Ms. Rand created her Facebook group, which has since evolved into a nonprofit, two years ago in the wake of the Hamas attacks of Oct. 7.'
'The letter noted that the campaign waged against him had set a very dangerous precedent that threatened the academic freedom of the entire Oberlin community.'
