Still roiled by controversy over its handling of campus protests related to the Israel-Hamas war, Harvard University wants faculty to plan for how they’ll address possible classroom disruptions this semester. “Students on other campuses have started the semester with walkouts,” Amanda Claybaugh, dean of undergraduate education, wrote in an email to faculty Sunday, the day before classes started for the spring semester. “I’d encourage you to think about how you’d respond should a protest occur in your course.”
