Take on the university president stories

It seems that every other article in The NY Times recently has to do with university presidents under pressure about antisemitism on their campuses.

I'm not saying it's not a story to cover but if you are claiming to be the paper of record and every article is on the same topic while we have a war in Ukraine, a recession in China, a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Israel still reeling, an upcoming primary, a disregard by half of our country for reproductive rights, blatant worldwide authoritarianism and the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce thing, we need a new perspective. These are private institutions, they can make their own decisions and the pressure should come from the student body, alumni and community but for some reason the Times has decided to make this their go to story.
