Assessment
California lawmakers are considering a bill that would limit public universities' ability to punish unauthorized protests, a move cheered by anti-Zionist groups. The legislation targets campus conduct rules tightened after recent disruptive demonstrations. The outcome could reshape how universities manage protest activity on their grounds. Watch for committee votes and lobbying from both supporters and opponents.
