Professors Avishai and Fishere speak to Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNN about ongoing conflict and campus protests

Senior Lecturer, Bernard Avishai and Visiting Professor, Ezzedine Fishere, spoke on Fareed Zakaria's showcast, Fareed Zakaria GPS, about how universities can foster productive debates, and if there is a path to peace in the current war in Gaza. 

"We all have norms that are for debate and not for coercion. Ezzedine and I tried to model what kind of debate would look," said Professor Avishai.

"Students have a right to express themselves. Universities also have a right to protect free speech, to make sure it happens peacefully, that it doesn't include incitement, that it doesn't intimidate other groups on campus... it's ultimately the responsibility of the leadership to make sure that the university is open, there is access for everybody to do what they are mainly to do: which is learning," said Professor Fishere.
