Contractor paints over pro-Palestinian protester on CWRU campus

Season 2024 Episode 18 | 26m 46s

The president of Case Western Reserve University has apologized after a contractor spray painted over a pro-Palestinian protester on campus. The university hired contractors to remove messages written on the campus' "Spirit Wall" that the administration deemed antisemitic and threatening. Protesters have been encamped at the university since last week, rallying against the Israel-Hamas war.
