About a dozen students set up the sukkah, calling on the U.S. to enact an arms embargo on Israel and push Northwestern to divest from companies tied to the country amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. A University spokesperson said that Jewish Voice for Peace NU requested University permission for the event, which was denied because “the group is not a recognized student organization, and because the structure violates the University’s display policy.”
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
“ Take that, sukkah!” says NU. Sorry, couldn’t resist.
