What will the fall rules be?

We noted that a court has ordered UCLA to come up with a plan for protecting Jewish students in an earlier post.* And, as we also previously noted, UCLA is under a Title VI investigation and it is likely it will be told to do something whenever that process concludes.** UCLA's initial response to the court case was to try and have that case dismissed on grounds that it already had a plan of quickly removing encampments.*** 

Meanwhile, a draft of rules for the fall by Harvard was leaked to the student newspaper there and suggests what UCLA's plan may be.**** We can assume that the major universities are all looking at each other and their policies. Basically, the draft Harvard rules forbid a range of tactics used by protesters. UCLA - as a public institution - is more constrained than private Harvard in regulating what happens on campus, particularly in public spaces, so its rules are likely to be somewhat different.
