Professor emeritus on antisemitism on college campuses: We're seeing something that is 'indicative' of the elite university

Police are investigating and searching for those responsible for leaving after antisemitic messages on parked vehicles in a Chicago park.
Around 8:30 a.m. Sunday, officers were dispatched to a call in the 5400 block of West Wilson Avenue and found cardboard signs with antisemitic messages on several parked vehicles, Chicago police said.
In a statement from U.S. Rep. Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, D-Ill., he claims that the signs were left by the Goyim Defense League, an antisemitic group.
In his statement, Rep. Garcia said, "This morning, I was alerted to antisemitic leaflets distributed at residences in my district. I condemn this disgusting display of antisemitism. My Jewish constituents deserve to live in safety and without fear of intimidation or violence," Garcia said. "The leaflets draw on deeply rooted conspiracy theories about government influence by listing Jewish members of the Biden administration."
