Northwestern University President Morty Schapiro delivered a strong condemnation of recent anti-police demonstrations from students and alleged agitators in Evanston, Illinois, over the weekend, marking a rare instance of a college president condemning left-wing unrest.
In a letter published on Monday afternoon, Schapiro said that the university recognized “the many injustices faced by Black and other marginalized groups” and explained that he believes concerns about policing and criminal justice reform are valid. But he quickly drew a line in the sand, saying the university would “continue improving” the police department but not abolish it, as protesters have suggested. He also said the university would not stand for law-breaking.
