This op-ed by @ryanenos.bsky.social makes the case that universities should practice "forbearance" when it comes to responding to student protesters who are breaking some university policies when protesting peacefully.

If indeed the US is a liberal democracy, then peaceful protest is its essential element as is freedom of inquiry, freedom of expression and freedom to exchange ideas within educational institutions and without.
