July 19, 1970: The Globe reports that colleges and universities up and down the East Coast are making moves to restrict antiwar politicking on campus. Columbia University evicted an antiwar group from its campus offices. Brandeis and MIT have given such groups time to find new digs. Princeton has asked groups to start paying rent. The moves are in stark contrast to a few months earlier, after the invasion of Cambodia and the Kent State University killings, when schools bent over backward to provide student antiwar groups with office space, copy machines, and meeting halls with no thought of repayment.
