"I'm not going to put myself in the position where I'm giving money or supporting institutions that don’t support their students."
“I applied to one school, I kind of had my heart set on it. That's what I wanted to do. I am not going to name the institution, but given recent events, I am not going to give my money, go into debt for, support institutions that don't support their students and the right to protest and speak out for their communities," Hope Walz said in a TikTok post on Sunday.
“Students deserve to be protected. I am not worried about if I were to be protected or not at said institution; I'm, you know, a privileged white woman. But I'm not going to put myself in the position where I'm giving money or supporting institutions that don’t support their students,” she added, refraining from naming the graduate school that offered her admission.
Hope's decision comes as the Trump administration has cracked down on schools that did not handle concerns over ongoing antisemitism properly at their schools, threatening to withdraw funding from Ivy League institutions such as Columbia as well as Princeton. Last spring, college campuses saw pro-Palestinian and Gaza encampment protests taking place across the country. In multiple instances, the protests became violent and Jewish students were assaulted at different colleges across the country. Protests have continued since then, including the takeover of Barnard College's library in New York City.
Hope Walz was slammed over her comments online, and the Daily Mail reported that one social media user wrote that she was being "performative" and "setting feminism back 50 years" by turning down the educational opportunity.
"White women privilege is getting into college but having such rich parents you can decide to not go ... how noble and brave," another said in response.
