Today, Hogan for Maryland released the following statement from Governor Hogan in response to escalating tensions and antisemitic activity at Johns Hopkins University.
“The antisemitic bigotry, harassment, threats, and lawlessness spreading through these encampments across college campuses is dangerous and must be immediately addressed,” Governor Hogan said. “What happened at universities like Columbia and UCLA should absolutely not be permitted to happen at Johns Hopkins or any place in Maryland. In 2015, we showed how to handle violent outside extremists and secure peace through strength while protecting the right for Marylanders to peacefully protest. I urge city and state officials and university leaders to follow that proven model and take the necessary steps to put a stop to the chaos on campus.”
