I can't speak for other universities, but Jewish students have no reason to feel endangered at Cornell.

Some crazy Asian student wrote death threats to Jewish students and was kicked out. [1] When the lid blew off in Gaza all our sports events went clear bag, which was a hassle to me as a sports photographer. Security cameras popped up all over the engineering school over a weekend, contrast that to any blue collar projects in my building which always go on for months or years. The encampment on the arts quad was polite, nobody could say they were deprived of an education by it. Students who disrupted a job fair were suspended and ultimately reported.

[1] Black students, gay students, women, etc. can't say that they get this kind of service from public safety.



> Jewish students have no reason to feel endangered at Cornell.

Have you spoken with Jewish students? Do you have first-hand knowledge? It's a stereotype of our blindness to dismiss other people's concerns, especially over safety and discrimination.
