A Jewish NYU professor lashed out at student protesters as they descended on Washington Square Park to demand a ‘total academic boycott of Israel‘ on Tuesday.
Scott Galloway, a professor at NYU Stern School of Business expressed his views about the protests on MSNBC and said that he believes there is a ‘double standard.’
‘I can tell you, if I went into the NYU square with a white hood on and said, “lynch the blacks or burn the gays”- my ID would be shut off by that night,’ Galloway said.
‘And I would never work in academia again. There would be no need for the words context or nuance, I wouldn’t be protected by the first amendment or free speech.’
A huge cohort of keffiyeh-clad NYU students and professors filled the Manhattan park on Tuesday, in echoes of pro-Gaza protests unfolding at Ivy League campuses across the country.
