Universities and colleges are in turmoil, but, with semesters drawing to a close and commencements underway, students—and the “outside agitators” orchestrating them—will soon be headed home, campuses will be emptied, and other urgencies will fill TV screens, fixating the nation’s attention on that until the next “crisis” comes along.

That appears to be President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign response to questions regarding his administration’s reactions to the largest groundswell of campus unrest since the 1980s anti-apartheid and 1960s and 1970s Vietnam War protests.
