seasoned professionals to safeguard college campuses in the first place?

Apparently, college campuses all across the US and Canada are way ahead of you on addressing this, and a number of them contemplated the idea and decided that Israeli firms are best suited for the job. Others contemplated different different optopns, but none left the existence of hostile academic environments on their campuses unaddressed.

None of us have insight into these decisions or what is involved in safeguarding college campuses. Trying to invoke meaning on the basis of ignorance is a rabbit hole that, as we can all see, invites hysterically laughable speculations. Suffice it to say that security firms are usually hired for maintaining security, and that involves, first and foremost, accurate assessment of who are the victims, the perpetrators and the bystanders in any hostile environment. But your absence of concern for the victims and their need for being protected, as well as absence of concern for identifying professional anti-Israel agitators who "add fuel to the fire" of hostilities, is noted.

On a side note: so much for the demands by the "freedom fighters" to boycott Israeli businesses. File the outraged students' demands for the universities to immediately terminate its contracts with Israeli security firms in the same circular file cabinet.
