Protests erupting at Columbia University highlight a troubling trend of anti-Semitism on American campuses, raising urgent questions about the safety and freedom of expression for Jewish students.

Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal's daughter, Ramona Sarsgaard, was arrested during the Columbia protests on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.

In 2004, she told The New York Times that“I went wild” when she was a student at Barnard College, Columbia’s sister school.
