General Discussion

1) The Brown classroom seemed to have been chosen at random, or at least there's no evidence that it wasn't. It was simply nearest to the door on the old side of the building, nearest to the street. The professor of the economics class wasn't in the room; it was a study session being run by an undergraduate teaching assistant. Finally, there's never been any evidence presented that the classroom used for the study session is the same classroom used for the course itself. So, there's no real evidence for targeting or relevance when it comes to the Brown professor.

2) Is there actual evidence that the MIT professor was Jewish? I've seen suggestions that that was a rumor started by a right wing Substack. I've not seen any good sourcing on that. Definitely curious to see the sourcing.
