Jewish students at Drake are “terrified.” The university is responding to yet another hate crime, the first directed at Jews. First-year Samantha Bayne, who is Jewish, says she felt senate wasn’t standing in solidarity with her community last week, after anti-Semitic vandalism was discovered on campus.
Student senate approved a total of six motions, including a motion approving Drake’s chapter of Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) as a recognized student group. The Libertarian advocacy group was founded by the party’s champion, Ron Paul in 2008, and claims more than 800 chapters have been established at college campuses across the country, according to their website.
